Many QGIS users don't know that the project maintains a dedicated community resource platform: the QGIS Hub. It is a free, open web portal where anyone can share and discover reusable GIS resources — styles, processing models, 3D models, projects, layer definitions, maps, and processing scripts.

The Hub is a two-way ecosystem: you can use resources shared by the community, and you can contribute your own work back for others to benefit from. Whether you've crafted a beautiful style, built a handy processing model, or assembled a reusable project template, the Hub is the place to share it with the global QGIS community.

To make accessing the Hub even easier, the QGIS Hub Plugin brings the entire resource browser directly into QGIS. Instead of visiting the website, downloading files manually, and importing them, users can search, preview, and load any Hub resource into their project with a single click — all without leaving the application.

In this lightning talk, we'll walk through the Hub website and show how the plugin works in practice through a short recording. The goal: make sure everyone leaves knowing this ecosystem exists and feels empowered to both use it and contribute to it.
