Once upon a time… in QGIS

Presenter: Bonny McClain

The power of open source GIS and visualizing history is the transitory nature of the present. The world writ large doesn’t exist in political terms, marketing campaigns, or lifespans–think of a continuous link evolving into our current zeitgeist–and well beyond.

Geospatial analysts and scientists evaluate demographic shifts, social and cultural shifts, economic shifts, and environmental dynamics–what we need now is a powerful intersection of our insights. Understanding the role of location intelligence and spatial awareness just might be the missing link.

Using open source tools like QGIS, let’s explore data and examine how powerful data questions elevate our discussion and re-focus potential solutions to address community level discord and marginalization.
