I am toying with the idea to build a (physical) globe myself. Preferably using #QGIS and maybe Inkscape for final touches (or other OS tools).
I would like to design the globe as far as possible in QGIS and then use an appropriate projection to output the lobes. Then glue to a sphere using wallpaper glue etc. - I imagine it difficult to get the labels right.
Surprisingly, I can find few resources on how to approach such a project.
Any pointers or own experience?
Das HLNUG (Hess. Umweltamt) hat seinen Workflow zur Biotopkartierung auf #OpenSource umgestellt, um den Workflow zu vereinfachen und zu vereinheitlichen. Das wurde auch mittels eines QGIS-Plugin umgesetzt. Spannender Ansatz, um schon bei der Erhebung und Eingabe qualitativ hochwertige Daten zu erzeugen.

QGIS Processing Scripts can now be shared via the QGIS Resources Hub!
They’re efficient, lightweight tools for automating tasks in #QGIS, requiring #Python & #PyQGIS skills. Easier to develop than plugins, they’re perfect for customizing workflows.

Today Oslandia and partners ( e.g. @opengisch ) publicly launch the "Security Project for QGIS" : a mutualized funding effort to increase QGIS cybersecurity.
Pledge now and share the info !
Details here : https://security.qgis.oslandia.com
New regulations (e.g. CRA, NIS2), threat increase, IT requirement, legacy… Many reasons for #QGIS to improve its security practices.
We will work on tech & organizational aspects, and collaborate closely with the user and dev community.
Share the word !
