GIS are in the plugins

PyQGIS. A not so well guarded secret in the most popular open-source geospatial system. You struggle doing a thing, and then open this one panel... And turns out, every single thing that you can click on, is available for programmatic calls. Load data, style it and process, prepare layouts for exporting, add panels and interactive modes, even add games using the GIS user interface. Everything.

Geospatial is hard. Software is hard. Making a new software for a one-time or an obscure process would be prohibitively complex. So no wonder many people turn towards QGIS for its extensive plugin capabilities. But what if we need to make something for the mobile?

This talk is about Every Door plugins. Every Door is an OpenStreetMap editor for going outside and collecting data. It's been custom designed for the OSM schema. But turns out, we've got thousands other services and processes on top of OSM, and many people would like "just one more button" or a panel. Let's see what has changed in Every Door over the winter that enables you to do so.
