[Qgis-us-user] Qgis-us-user Digest, Vol 49, Issue 2

Hello,

Is it possible to be transfered to the person who updates the Geoscience plugin?

Is it possible to set automatization of the resulting tables updates?

Thanks!
Francine

Hi to anyone out there,

I’d love to be part of an active US/North American QGIS-users group. This
group does not get a whole lot of traffic though. Is there any place else
where us 'mericans talk QGIS?

I admire the Swiss user’s group and the way they pull their resources and
sponsor new QGIS features. I have actually convinced my company to sponsor
a few features and fixes myself, but it would be great to pool our
resources.

David

David,

Does it make any sense to give this group more traffic. It is all set up. Maybe it needs a helping hand.

I am just an ecologist who happens to use Qgis as a second language, so to speak. I am not trained in GIS although I have been using one form or another for 25 years. Since my last computer language was Fortran, I would be a hindrance to the process but I do enjoy the benefits of the knowledge people like you can contribute. And I really appreciate Qgis’ power and interface since I am a Mac user and having this power on an operating system that I like saves me hours of time in the office.

For those of us who use this wonderful software but have no clue as to how it works, can I recommend that the brilliant people who organize and present at the Qgis conferences add a simple ?tip for the week? to this group? Such as, ?visit new youtube on adding dynamic date stamping for time series projects.? or ?best practices for georeferencing orthophotos.? or ? new book and here is the table of contents.?

I hate to lean on those contributors who dive deep into the code of this software to make it work so well, but maybe there are others who know this stuff up, down and sideways who would have a lot to share with users who love this product but really don?t know how to use it to its full potential.

My tip of the week: ?If you are new to Qgis, buy one of a number of great books that are available for cheap, Since you saved all that money not subscribing or buying from ESRI, invest in the smart people who are giving you this powerful tool."

Hi, Francine.

It looks like the description for the Geoscience plugin contains a
contact address:
"Geoscience: Tools for Geoscience and ExplorationDrill hole
displayDrill hole sectionsConvert alpha/beta structure dataVector
toolsRaster toolsLocal grids Send ideas & requests to
roleyhill@gmail.com"

For other plugins, you can usually find a contact via the "homepage"
"bug tracker" or "code repository" links below the description.

Cheers,
Keith

Hello,

Yes but unfortunately that contact never answered my email, sent out in October, that is why I reached out.

Is there anybody that I can contact for this issue?

Thanks!

It might help to know that plugins are often developed in people’s free time so while a person might have seen the email, they might not have had time to answer. If no one responds via email and the project has a GitHub repository, it can be helpful to make an “issue” there (it’s like starting a message board discussion), that way if there are multiple contributors to the project, more people might see it.
