Workshop
When:
1:00 PM, Monday 13 May 2024
(3 hours 30 minutes)
How:
The intent of this workshop is two-fold. First, to provide an introduction to an Open-Source based stack. Second, to provide insights on the use of Open GIS standard formats to power an organization's geospatial applications.
To cover the first intent, we will look into the following components:
- QGIS: The Swiss Army knife for geospatial enthusiasts. Learn how to create, analyze, and visualize maps using this user-friendly open-source Geographic Information System (GIS).
- PostgreSQL: Enterprise grade database management system
- GeoServer: Cloud-based spatial data server. We will discuss how to serve data from various sources like Postgres, Geopackage, SQLite, and shapefiles.
- Web Client: Understand how to build web and mobile applications that consume geospatial data. We will demonstrate how to create intuitive interfaces that empower users to make informed decisions from geospatial data.
To cover the second intent, we will discuss and provide hands-on workshop on:
- Cloud Optimized GeoTiff (COG)
- Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC)
- GeoParquet
The workshop will be structured in such a way that the workflow will satisfy the requirements of the GIS Developer persona and a GIS Analyst persona.
This workshop is ideal for individuals with any level of GIS experience. If you want to know more about what open source tools are available to start or enhance your GIS, join in! If you want to learn how to improve management of your data and delve into the cloud, join in!
