I’ve recently been given the responsibility at my job to implement a “geospatial strategy”, whatever this means to the people requesting. Nice, I guess, but I have two conflicting feelings: I’m...

We talked about how to collaborate on QGIS project at a “project management” level, but in practice, how do you make things easy for you to easily share a project. Well, one way is to minimize the ...
