[Gavin Fleming]

GISSA / OSGeo Africa Open Source GIS hands-on introductory workshop

 

Sat 29 Nov 9h00-12h00

St Davids Marist Inanda, Rivonia Rd, Inanda.

 

Featuring QGIS, uDig, GeoServer and PostGIS

 

See what these programs are all about. Install them. Use them. 

 

PostGIS: Install, load data, perform spatial queries.

 

GeoServer: Install, set up data stores and web services. 

 

uDig: Use WMS and WFS services, create SLD styles. Apply them in
GeoServer. 

 

QGIS: Open shapefiles, images, WMS, WFS and PostGIS layers. Edit. Create
thematic maps. Create attribute actions and use the Plugin manager. 

 

To fit all this into 3 hours it will be a mixture of hands-on and
demonstration. 

 

In the afternoon there will be a QGIS 1.0 prerelease bug-squashing
session. Learn more about QGIS, see the latest features and contribute
by identifying and describing bugs.
