Open Session: LFTools: a plugin for elaboration of cadastral survey plans and land register documents

Time: 24 June 2022 12h00 UTC.

Duration: ~ 60 mins

Venue: Youtube Live Stream Link, Jitsi Link

Presenters: Leandro França

Description: The deed description and the survey plan properly georeferenced in a geodetic system are essential documents in the process of demarcation of urban or rural properties and land tenure regularization. Although there are several regulatory instructions for carrying out the survey of these properties, several countries have no standardization regarding the storage of the land surveying collected data, as well as in the process of preparing its technical documentation. To meet this need, a data model called TopoGeo was developed, being implemented in Geopackage format from OGC.

This presentation aims to demonstrate the possibilities of application in QGIS with the “LF Tools” plugin for the preparation of the necessary documentation on land regularization process with the TopoGeo data model, describing its main feature classes. Such implementations have ensured a better standardization for sharing the land surveying collected data, greater efficiency, and better quality. The method developed in this work has already been applied in Brazil and can also be applied or adapted to other countries’ specifications.

QGIS for Absolute beginners: get data, save things, make a map, useful platforms, and plugins

Time: 24 June 2022 13h00 UTC.

Connect your designs across GIS, CAD and BIM. Easy interoperability using Speckle plugin for QGIS

Time: 24 June 2022 16h00 UTC.

Duration: ~ 60 mins

Venue: Youtube Live Stream Link, Jitsi Link

Presenters: Kateryna Konieva & Alan Rynne

Description: The Speckle QGIS plugin allows you to send and receive data from multiple sources to/from several layers in your project, and store their geometry (as well as their contained metadata), on a Speckle server. Find out more at https://speckle.systems or reach us at https://speckle.community If you want to follow along the webinar, these are the requirements:

  • Speckle Manager: You can download the installer here -> https://speckle.guide/user/manager
  • An account on a Speckle server. If you don't have one, feel free to use our public server https://speckle.xyz
  • An account added in the Accounts section of the Speckle Manager

Adding more events

You can do this too! We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world domination and much much more. We encourage language and region-specific huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.

We would really love to see more events offered from our country user groups and broader user base. The content can be at any skill level and in any language you like, and the times can overlap if needed. So please feel free to organise your activities on this wiki page. The QGIS Open Day is also an ideal time to hold virtual country user group meet-ups - please share your activities on the open day schedule, so that even people from outside of your country user group can benefit from your presentations. Contact me (see below) if you need help adding your events to the wiki page.

About QGIS Open Day

Dear QGIS Users

On Friday, 24th June 2022 we will be holding our monthly QGIS Open Day! What is a QGIS Open Day you may be wondering to yourself? It is an initiative to replace the wonderful community meetups we used to hold every six months when times were different. Like our in-person meetings, the event is organised on the principle of self-organisation and community participation.
