Located in the Czech Republic, but 8 years a member of UK's consultancy company Lutra Consulting Ltd. fully based around FOSS4G (mostly QGIS). I am a QGIS core developer, involved in the last years mainly around Mesh Layers (MDAL) development. Last year, I became a CPO of Mergin Maps, our product that helps users to share their geo-data with others. In my free time, I like to play chess and spend time with my family.
Sessions
Mergin Maps (Mergin synchronization server and the Input app) is a package of free and open-source components developed by Lutra Consulting since 2017. It allows users to seamlessly share QGIS projects with others and keep a history of the geo-data. Moreover, it allows collecting data in the field with the mobile application Input, fully based on the QGIS core engine. No more paper for the collection of vital data in the field! We will briefly present published case studies to show the capabilities and features of the solution.
We will talk about the recent development of the product. In the Input app, where we focused on improving the field survey experience by allowance to use of precise external GPS receivers, stake-out navigation mode or attaching multiple photos to a single feature.
On the server-side, in the Mergin, we will demonstrate the ability to store, version and share your geo-data with your team. You will see the new feature to show a map overview of your Mergin project on the dashboard. To fully integrate into CDI, the DB-sync tool for two-way synchronization between Mergin and PostgreSQL will be presented. Advanced features for usage in large teams, such as selective synchronization and work packages (subprojects for teams within companies) will be explained.
At the end of the talk, we will uncover the upcoming roadmap for the new features coming in the second half of 2022.
