When making a #QGIS layout, if you want to split a long section of text into multiple columns, you can "Add HTML" and then use CSS styles to automatically format the columns.

Started a new challenge this weekend, where I'm doing a virtual walk from Lands End to John O' Groats (LEJOG) in the UK.
To be clear, I'm not actually walking this route. Instead I'm keeping track of the distances I do walk and mapping the miles onto the #LEJOG trail in #QGIS.
I want some motivation to keep walking through the winter months and thought this might be a fun way to do it.
Hey #FediHire,
ich suche für ein (potentielles) Kundenprojekt eine Selbstständige / #Freelancer Person für das Einrichten und die Konfiguration eines #qgis Servers.
Bei Interesse gerne melden :)
🎉 Big Changes Ahead: We're moving to Qt6 and Launching #QGIS 4.0!

Love it when I do a quick search for a QGIS plugin and find exactly what I want - today I wanted an easy way for a non-GIS specialist to find a UK postcode in QGIS. The ZoomToPostcode plugin (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ZoomToPostcode/#plugin-details) does exactly what I want!
Here's a new #introduction from my from the new mapstodon.space instance:
I'm Josh Carlson. I'm a GIS Developer for Kendall County, Illinois, USA, where I manage our GIS portal and keep the tax maps up to date, among many other things.
We're an #esri org, but I like to push #QGIS, #PostGIS, and #OpenStreetMap whenever possible.
Outside of work, I map, knit, forage, fiddle with Python, read, cook, and cycle. I try my best to keep up with my wife and three young sons.
I only wear socks I knit.
Hi everybody, we're excited to be here! Your favourite mobile field survey app for @qgis is now on @fosstodon

If I wanted to persuade someone who only knows ArcGIS/ESRI products that they should look at QGIS/open-source tools, what particular features should I point to? Aside from being free and open-source - what wow features do they have? What can you do easily that you can't in Arc?
(I don't really know what Arc/ESRI is like these days as I haven't used it for over a decade)
The yearly budget of the #QGIS Foundation for 2025 is just €505,850.
I took a look at the budget evolution and noticed a very positive year-over-year trend. Still, imagine what could be achieved with just a bit more funding—for example, the amazing website redesign only required a couple of 10K EUR.
Who’s got some budget to spare so the project can invest in other much-needed areas, like tackling the 4.8k open issues on GitHub. What would you prioritize?

Finding Geospatial Accounts on Mastodon
Besides following hashtags, such as #GISChat, #QGIS, #FOSS4G, #openstreetmap and #OSGeo, curating good lists is probably the best way to stay up to date with geospatial developments. To get you started (or to potentially enrich your existing lists), I thought I'd share my #Geospatial and #SpatialDataScience lists with you.

In a very boring afternoon, I counted by hand about 1,900 seals in some drone imagery. With a possibility of flying a colony that might have 30,000 seals, I thought I should probably look into automatic counting with #QGIS and #Deepness plugin..
WAID is a dataset containing images of Sheep, Cattle, Seal, Camelus, Zebra, or Kiang. It's huge (14,375 images) and I just needed Seals, so I wrote a quick python script to remove images that had no seals from the dataset.

Today I worked out that the UK would nearly fit 1:1 scale on a sheet of A-39 paper.
That's using the A paper scale, where A0 is 1m^2 and each number down the scale doubles in area, keeping a 1:sqrt(2) aspect ratio.
That's A minus 39. I make a sheet of that 741.455km x 1048.576 km

Originally an applied maths engineer, I created and run @oslandia since 2009, focusing on #Opensource 🌍 Geographical Information Systems (namely #QGIS, #PostGIS ) .
I care about #FOSS4G, #GIS, #OpenSource, #maps, #OSGeo, #spatial on technical & general levels, as well as open organizations and innovative work methods.
I live in France, work remote since 2009, and speak 🇫🇷, 🇬🇧, 🇪🇸 & 🇩🇪. Favorite projection : octant projection with Reuleaux triangles 🗺️

Aspects (directions) of buildings in Edinburgh. Using #openstreetmap data.
In #qgis, used 'shortest line between features' to join each building to nearest point on road network, assigned a bearing to the lines, and spatially joined buildings to these lines.
Intro! Happy to be here on mastodon and meeting new people! I am a geospatial developer most interested in #FOSS4G and new applications of #HistoricalMaps and #digitalhum geo things like that. Currently I'm mainly using #qgis #django #python #svelte #geoserver #Openlayers and #titiler.
My current project is a #crowdsourcing site for georeferencing #Sanborn fire insurance maps of US cities: https://oldinsurancemaps.net. I'm reworking it now but there is still a LOT to see there :))
Elevation difference map (vertical displacement) based on two different acquisitions by our remote sensing team. These area base on two DEMs spanning 1 Dec. to 15 Jan. covering the latest eruption in #Grindavík
Reds:
- New lava fields
- Lava barriers
Blues:
- Quarry for barriers
- Barrier entrenchment
- Graben formation
Flyover over the island of #Iona using QGIS and Blender, starting above Sligneach and flying roughly north, ending just past the Abbey/Nunnery.
In compositing, ran normalized depth map through a Kirsch filter at 50%. This gives the fog-like effect (and gradients are low frequency, so it compresses down really well).
Data from https://remotesensingdata.gov.scot/ (had to reduce resolution a lot for my GPU... original DSM is 25cm)
Oh no I forgot the #introduction Here we go!
I currently work at the Icelandic Met Office as a #GIS Coordinator in #Reykjavik. In general, I help people make maps, find #geodata either with code (#python or #javascript) or with desktop software like #QGIS
I love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, climbing and biking. I've been involved with Icelandic Search & Rescue for many years, both on the frontline (mountain rescue) and as an instructor for new team members.
