Hi all.
I understand a real dev is deeply uninterested in such issues, but (sorry to insist)
I think this is a theme of great interest for the future of QGIS.
Are we sure we want to leave things to happen without interfering? I'm not against
this, but I would feel more comfortable if we would explicitly think&talk about it.
All the best.


- -------- Messaggio originale --------
My personal opinion is that beyond meetups coinciding with other confs,
and possibly organizing QGIS hackfests (can be user oriented) that most
other functions of such a group overlap either with QGIS' existing
infrastructure (e.g. do we really need our own mailing list since the
main QGIS ones are in English except to discuss regional events?) or
OSGeo chapters.

Guess I'm mostly hesitant about splitting the FOSS4G community
mindshare, I don't use QGIS in isolation and never would (unlike some
monolithic software packages), so to me leaving out Postgis, Spatialite,
GRASS, (Everything else in Processing) kinda misses the mark.

But I do get the notion that some things simplified can be more
attractive to a general audience (ie hook in the QGIS users out there
somehow).

Thanks,
Alex
