Brilliant stuff. All right, good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the QGIS Open Day. I am your host, Amy Biness. And if you don't know what Open Day is, where have you been? I am joking, of course. The QGIS Open Day is an absolutely amazing initiative. It's a monthly event that was created
00:23
in time of pandemic. It was created to replace the lovely QGIS in-person meetings, but it is kind of becoming its own event in its own right. It is the last Friday of every month where volunteer speakers give sessions
00:43
on an aspect of QGIS. They can publish their plugin, they can show off how their plugin works, they can show off a cool workflow in QGIS, or just any QGIS functionality that they find interesting. And this is then live streamed on YouTube and the community can interact through live chat platforms.
01:07
Alrighty, so the YouTube channel has grown steadily throughout the year. We have just under 6,000 subscribers from all over the world. The largest number of viewers, of course, come from the US, Brazil, India, and Europe.
01:21
But you can see we actually have a very wide distribution of viewers across the planet. Our viewers generally are of working age. This means they are aged from 24 to 44. We do have, of course, other age groups. You can see they move around a little bit as to our different months,
01:41
but those are our general age groups that are watching the videos. There are 13 to 17 year olds and I think they may have been playing a game of Lost on YouTube when they arrived on our page, but I'm glad that perhaps they learned something. Alright, for our gender makeup of the channel, the QGIS channel suffers a bit, I think,
02:02
from what most tech industries have and that is a huge gender divide. Most of our viewers are male with 91.1% and the rest are female. This is one of my goals for next year is to increase our female viewership.
02:20
Alrighty, some of our most viewed videos are, of course, the visual changelogs. These are videos showing the new features with each release of QGIS that comes out. These were made by Marius and thank you very much for compiling those. They are, of course, the most popular. But the most popular sessions, these are our live streamed sessions
02:40
with absolutely amazing guru level talks, are the sessions on apps that allow QGIS to be mobile. Of course, this is Qfield and Input and Mergen and Qfield Cloud and those are our highest viewed videos. I think that's extremely interesting
03:01
because it shows that the world is very interested in mobile QGIS. Alright, and the community that supports us is absolutely amazing. It's growing every single day. There are multiple platforms that you can get into contact with the QGIS community.
03:21
And I just want to say that, you know, thank you so much to the community for all the support over the years and I'm glad to announce that the QGIS Open Day is no longer a replacement for our in-person meetings. It is its own event. And remember, it is the last Friday of every month. Please contact me if you'd like to give a session.
03:42
That would be amazing. Or check out the Wiki and put yourself up for a session. Just remember that it is time for open source, open mind, open day. Thank you.
