Hi all, I would like to propose the addition of QField as a new OSGeoLive app.
Below you find the information requested by https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Projects/How_to_apply *What is its name?* QField *What is the home page URL?* https://qfield.org *Which OSI approved Open Source Licence is used?* GPLv2 or newer *What does the application do and how does it add value to the GeoSpatial stack of software?* It's a mobile-friendly spatial data collection application based on QGIS featuring a minimalist yet powerful user interface. *Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which versions of the standards? Client or server? You may wish to add comments about how standards are used.*QField supports many OGC standards in many versions as a client via QGIS providers and ogr/gdal. WMS, WFS, OGC API Features, GPKG, probably more. *What language is it written in?* C++ and QML *Which version of the application should be included in the next OSGeo-Live release?*The latest stable release of the 2 series QField has been deployed in many organizations in various areas and is in use for years, for example: - Forestry - Geology - Urbanism - Railway - Underground Infrastructure (Fibre, Water, Electricity) - Public Services (Health, Police, ...) - Biology - GIS introduction courses Currently, QField has more than 500'000 downloads on Android, and is also available on Linux, iOS, macOS and Windows. It has been developed since 2014 and has since seen a stream of commits by various contributors. See https://www.openhub.net/p/QField for details. It has furthermore triggered various improvements to QGIS as well (functionality, bug fixes and paving for the move from QGIS 2 to 3). There is a set of unit tests included in QField as well as a lively and reactive issue tracker (on github). The QField app has been presented at most FOSS4G's since Bonn. QField will be able to run with 512 MB of memory (although it performs better with more) The disk space for a full package with all dependencies is between 60MB and 100MB. On OSGeo-Live it will (very likely) reuse the already installed QGIS libraries, so it will be much less than this. Windows and Mac installers are available and can be included or linked if desired. I and Mathieu Pellerin (aka nirvn) are happy to volunteer for the maintenance of this application in OSGeo-Live. We will be happy to follow up with project overview and quickstart pages as well as installation scripts for the integration as soon as this application has been approved for integration. Thank you in advance for your considerations On behalf of the QField dev team Matthias -- <https://www.opengis.ch/2022/11/03/best-of-swiss-enterprise-app-award-for-qfield/> Best of Swiss Enterprise App-Award for QField <https://www.opengis.ch/2022/11/03/best-of-swiss-enterprise-app-award-for-qfield/> - Hold the power of QGIS in your hand - get it now <https://qfield.org/get>
