We believe the long-term health of the QGIS ecosystem depends on more than just new features. Discover how OPENGIS.ch’s Sustainability Initiative turns support contracts into lasting impact for open-source GIS.
At OPENGIS.ch, we create open-source software, we are contributors, maintainers, and in the case of QField, the team that builds it.
That comes with a responsibility we take seriously: giving back.
OPENGIS.ch is excited to co-organise the QGIS User Conference 2026 together with QGIS User Group Switzerland in Laax, our home in the Swiss Alps and the birthplace of QField. A mountain-top venue, breathtaking views, and space for open-source exchange will make this a truly memorable community gathering.

OPENGIS.ch ha svolto un ruolo centrale all’incontro QGIS.ch 2025 a Berna, con presentazioni, un workshop multilingue su QField e la presentazione dei nostri strumenti — inclusa la nostra partnership nel progetto di sicurezza QGIS e gli sviluppi di ModelBaker.
Building on top of the last release which introduced background tracking, this development cycle focused on polishing functionalities and building on top of preexisting features. The variety of improvements is sure to make our diverse user base and community excited to upgrade to QField 3.6.
