[Qgis-user] Forestry Week? (was Case sensitive)

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Tyler,

Marco Bernasocchi is working on QGIS for Android - and is always looking
for sponsors ;-)

It works like QGIS on Desktop - but Python is not yet available. You,
can however use custom forms, Spatialite and the Offline editing plugin,
which can synchronize between a central Postgis data warehouse and
spatialite for mobile workers. Postgis is also supported, but you would
need a permanent network connection.

It probably would need some real world testing, but it looks promising.
You need at least a phone with a display size like the Samsung Galaxy
Notes or a real tablet, like the Panasonic Toughpad.

If you have specific questions, please contact Marco Bernasocchi
directly or use http://hub.qgis.org/projects/android-qgis

Hope this helps,
Andreas

BTW: in Switzerland there is a whole group of Forestry engineers that
collaborate on the training of QGIS for forestry engineers and the
development of tools.
