I've had an ever growing number of ArcGIS users asking about QGIS in the
SE TN/NE Georgia Area - So I figured I'd give this a shot. Most seem to
have it installed but are a bit lost (BUT - we do have some using it for
day to day GIS work). So I think this might be a good way to spread the
word and at least get them functional and not scared of asking questions
on the User list.
Thanks for reminding me of the books and Community Health - so I'll
throw that in also to show what is happening. Actually - that reminds me
of the Carto book that also came out.
I'll try to fire off an update post meeting with attendance and plans
for moving this forward.

I wish I could be there. I just wanted to give you an update. I just
finished a workshop on QGIS at the GeoEd 2016 Conference in
Louisville, KY. <x-apple-data-detectors://0> I once again used the
awesome curriculum from Phil's crew
http://spatialquerylab.com/foss4g-academy-curriculum/ specifically GST
101 Unit 2 and 4. Then we discussed other tools in QGIS - Select by
Attributes, Select by Location, etc. There were 14 attendees. There
was a mix of educators and governmental personnel and a mix of
beginners and advanced users.
I also discussed Kurt's new book: https://communityhealthmaps.nlm.nih.gov/
Finally I put a plug in for Geo4All labs. I have not joined (one of
my jobs this summer).
Thanks

There will be a QGIS users group meeting in Chattanooga TN June
20th from 3:30 to 7:00 EST at the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga. UTC has kindly donated their GIS Lab.
Address:
701 East ML King BLVD
Chattanooga TN
I've had several people ask for an informal "Learn about QGIS
session". So we're covering a few subjects in detail about QGIS -
which should lead to more questions and more talk. There will also
be an informal discussion about continuing this going forward in
some shape or form. For this meetup some knowledge of GIS would be
good as we don't have a lot of time to go "This is a vector".
There are no snacks/food provided - BUT - we plan on ending this
at one of the fine breweries around the area.
Agenda:
* QGIS Community
* How to install QGIS
* Data Formats
* Data Display
* Making a Map
So email me for more information. If you are close please make
plans to attend. It should be fun.
