New blog & user group page for QGIS users in Ireland

    I recently started a blog, IeQGIS, for QGIS users in Ireland, the free open source GIS (Google: IeQGIS).

    I decided to start the blog after attending an excellent QGIS training course run by Dr George Smith of Blackthorn Ecology last April - Intro to Ecological Mapping with Open Source GIS. While I am quite experienced in QGIS, I was there covering for a colleague who missed the second day of the two day course.

    The course was well attended, and included some folks who travelled all the way from the UK. It certainly shows the interest in QGIS is increasing rapidly.

    I hope the blog will provide a valuable forum for users of QGIS where they can read the latest QGIS news, hear about training events and share their experiences and tips using QGIS and related open source GIS software.

    Thanks for that, the blog looks interesting. For the lazy it's here: http://ieqgis.wordpress.com/

    If you're a QGIS user, or interested in maps in general, there's an event on in Dublin this Sunday 25th May that might be of interest: The 2nd Irish OpenStreetMap Hack day.

    It's taking place in TOG, which is just behind the Radisson on Chancery Lane, from about 12:00 until 18:00-ish. There might (will) be beers afterwards. It's free and all are welcome. There are some more details on the TOG site here: http://www.tog.ie/2014/05/open-street-map-hack-day-2/

    Excellent, I'll head along to it. I'll put up a notice on my blog.

    Cheers! I'll be there from about 15:00 myself.

    As someone who is starting in Geomatics in DIT in a couple of weeks this is gonna be something I'm sure I'll read more of.

    Hi,
    I've recently started using QGIS and am encountering some difficulties. I was just wondering is there anyone in the munster area who could give tutorials.
    Thanks
