DESCRIPTION:Every time a user opens QGIS\, downloads a plugin\, or grabs th
 e latest installer\, a carefully maintained web of infrastructure quietly 
 does its job in the background. But how does that infrastructure keep runn
 ing\, and what does it actually look like at scale?\n\nIn this talk\, we p
 ull back the curtain on the systems that power the QGIS ecosystem. With ov
 er a petabyte of monthly downloads\, over 100k visits and nearly 30k downl
 oads per day on qgis.org alone\, and close to 2M plugin downloads monthly 
 through plugins.qgis.org\, the scale of what the community relies on is en
 ormous — and largely invisible to its users.\n\nWe will walk through the
  key components of this infrastructure: the main website and download pipe
 line backed by an S3 bucket and a network of mirrors\, the plugin reposito
 ry serving the global community\, the feed analytics that provide the news
  and quietly registers nearly 1M QGIS launches every day\, and the resourc
 e-sharing hub at hub.qgis.org. We will also cover supporting services incl
 uding planet.qgis.org\, certification.qgis.org\, members.qgis.org\, and th
 e emerging user group websites for national communities.\n\nBeyond the arc
 hitecture\, we will share the human side of this work — the decisions\, 
 the trade-offs\, and the ongoing effort required to keep these services re
 liable\, secure\, and scalable for a globally distributed open-source comm
 unity.\n\nWhether you are a QGIS contributor\, a user group organizer\, an
  active user or simply curious about what keeps the ecosystem ticking\, th
 is talk offers a behind the scenes look at the foundation everything else 
 is built on.
