It was such a pleasure to be part of the QGIS User Conference 2025 in Norrk\u00f6ping! The event was extremely well organised \u2014 a big thank you to the amazing local team for pulling it all together so smoothly. Personally, it felt special to be back in Sweden, almost 20 years after my Uppsala university days. I truly enjoyed giving the opening keynote and sharing the latest from the QGIS project \u2014 and of course, showcasing all the QField greatness we’ve been working so hard on \ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf8a QGIS.org updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As Chair of the QGIS.org association, I had the opportunity to share recent updates from the QGIS community. I spoke about ongoing development efforts, community growth, funding initiatives, and collaborations that help keep the project moving forward.
The focus was on the people who make QGIS possible \u2014 contributors, sponsors, local user groups, and everyday users \u2014 and how their involvement continues to shape the project\u2019s direction and ensure its long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Extending QFieldCloud \u2013 Ideas and Practical Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this talk, Michael, one of our Full stack GeoNinja and Web Cartography teacher<\/em>, explained how QFieldCloud can be extended<\/strong> by integrating additional Django apps<\/strong>. This allowed, for example, the generation of QField projects, reacting to events from fieldwork, adding new websites and APIs, and executing entire QGIS models as QFieldCloud jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a technical introduction, various practical examples were explored. It was shown how OpenStreetMap data can be fully automated to download offline-capable QField projects<\/strong>. Attendees got inspired by how an own WebGIS is brought to life in QFieldCloud<\/strong> using OpenLayers. Furthermore, he demonstrated how remote sensing data can be downloaded, analysed in a QGIS pipeline, and the results made available in QField projects. Finally, the discussion focused on how these capabilities can be optimally used <\/strong>in combination with QField plugins<\/strong>.
