Hi Raymond, I won't be at the hackfest this time but I could record a screencast before the HF so users can try to get the development setup running even before they arrive.
If I would attend an onboarding session for me it would be very interesting to watch how an experienced QGIS developer would debug a bug. regards, Thomas Raymond Nijssen <r.nijs...@terglobo.nl> schrieb am Fr., 6.
