[Qgis-community-team] QGIS Case Study: The Historical Gazetteer of the Crimea (HGC) Project

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Mark,

as Tim already wrote
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/about/case_studies/index.html provides some
information about "what you need to provide" for a case study:

Structure
=========

The stories should follow a simple structure and we suggest to write about
800 words including one or two screenshots.

Title
=====

Short Introduction with background of the company / institute / authority /
university (length about 200 words). Story about your project/application
and what QGIS is used for (length about 400 words plus screenshots)
Conclusion showing positive experiences/benefits using QGIS (length about
200 words)

And of course there are many sample case studies you can use to get
inspiration.

When it's done, just send me the document and pictures and I can add them to
the qgis.org.

Best whishes
Otto
