Subject: [OSGeo-UK] Case Studies for Web Site
Message-ID: <CANVKczPQe3opnrbYCB+2ZyH2YrZ6uyHj02RtGU+T7v=ksOEaQA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

 at the committee meeting recently I mentioned that the web pages used to
have case studies, and I thought showcasing some practical applications and
user wins would be a good way to let the world know we're not just a bunch
of coders.

Nobody on the call seemed to remember the case studies... and the most
recent web archive backup that has them was 2017! gvSIG anyone?

https://web.archive.org/web/20170726144332/http://www.osgeo.org/uk/case_studies

If it seems like a good idea, I'd be happy to collate any case study ideas
anyone on the list has, or send some gentle emails to people who might
benefit from the visibility.

 I'm not sure where on the web pages they would fit, and I don't think they
should be PDFs in these modern times, so it might need some text, images,
and some web editing for content. Contributors would supply text and
images, and someone (me) would do the necessary editing to try and keep the
burden low for contributors.

Thoughts?

Barry

Hi all,

Lutra Consulting and North Road have just launched a new crowdfunding
campaign for QGIS 3D, and we'd love your support:

https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/qgis-3d-reality-capture-animation

The two main features are:

- Gaussian splatting: load splats delivered as 3D Tiles
(KHR_gaussian_splatting) as tiled scene layers, and view them in 2D and 3D
maps alongside your vector, raster and point cloud data.

 - Animation for 2D and 3D maps: a new editor with keyframes for each
camera property, easing, presets such as orbit or follow a line, and video
export directly from QGIS.

The campaign also covers atmospheric scattering, scene presets for CAD/BIM
and realistic views, identify and highlight for more 3D symbol types, and
gamepad navigation.

How it works: pledges start at ?200, and nothing is invoiced unless we
reach the ?85,000 target by 7 December 2026. The work will land in QGIS
4.6, 4.8 and 4.10 during 2027, as open source for everyone. If your
organisation can't contribute to a crowdfunding campaign directly, get in
touch and we can prepare a quote for a specific feature instead.

Details:
https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/qgis-3d-reality-capture-animation
Pledge form: https://forms.gle/WbKz8WWGFupD88Fu8

Earlier QGIS 3D campaigns were funded by many of you on this list, so thank
you again. If you can't pledge, forwarding this to colleagues or your local
QGIS user group would help a lot.

Kind regards,
Saber
