06-02, 13:30–14:00 (Europe/Stockholm), Wadström
This presentation will cover the development of QGIS plugins across various fields, catering to different types of users. By showcasing examples from ship simulations, nautical risk assessments, and farming assessments, the presentation aims to highlight the unique challenges and solutions encountered during the development process.
The session will delve into the creation of publicly available plugins such as OMRAT (Open Maritime Risk Assessment Tool) and GeodataFarm3, as well as in-house projects tailored to specific needs. Attendees will gain insights into the technical and practical aspects of plugin development, including user requirements, coding challenges, and integration with existing QGIS functionalities.
Through real-world case studies, the presentation will illustrate how these plugins have been utilized to address complex problems in their respective domains. For instance, OMRAT aims to increase the understanding of the sensitivity of the input parameters in nautical risk assessments, while GeodataFarm3 has aims to help farmers with data management and analysis in farming. Where over 500 farms all around the world have tested the plugin.
By sharing past struggles and successes, this presentation aims to provide valuable lessons for both novice and experienced QGIS developers. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the development process and practical tips for creating effective and user-friendly plugins.
My name is Axel Hörteborn and I have created GeoDataFarm to illustrate data from farms that have Geographical information and OMRAT to analys nautical risks.
I grew up on a farm on the Swedish south cost, I graduated from Lunds technical faculty with master of science in Risk Management and Safety Engineering in 2014. Since 2014 have I worked on a consultant company focusing on maritime risks, I normally do risk assessments for ship operations and maritime infrastructure like bridges. Since 2017 I've been a PhD student at Chalmers with the focus on risk of ship - bridge accidents.
I moved to Varberg in 2015 (doing Kite surfing when it is windy on my spare time), hence I work in Gothenburg, giving me 2 times 45min every day to work on Open source projects.
