[Qgis-psc] MAC URISA QGIS

[Andreas Neumann]

Dear Matthew,

Thank you for your contact.

Unfortunately, we currently don't have  a PSC member living in the US. I 
don't know if any PSC has time to travel to the US on May 5 - please PSC 
colleagues, speak up, if you could travel. There is, however, a QGIS 
core dev (Larry Shaffer, see his e-mail in cc) who is quite involved 
with the project and could potentially speak at your event.

Regarding QGIS and Web-GIS:

QGIS server is a OGC compatible Mapserver that can use the QGIS project 
files as configuration. It means that you can prepare your project in 
QGIS desktop and deploy it to the web through QGIS server.

Regarding the Web-GIS client, there are two projects: QGIS Web Client 2 
and Lizmap. They are kind of "friendly competitors" with slightly 
different goals or technologies involved. See 
https://github.com/qgis/qwc2-demo-app and 
https://github.com/3liz/lizmap-web-client - theoretically, you could use 
other Web Clients with QGIS server as well, but they wouldn't be as 
tightly integrated with QGIS server as QGIS Web Client 2 or Lizmap are.

Perhaps my colleagues from the PSC have more ideas regarding your request.

There is, theoretically a QGIS user group in the US: www.qgis.us - 
although it doesn't seem to be active - last meeting is from 2014.

Greetings,

Andreas
