A QGIS Contributor Meeting is a volunteer-driven event where contributors to the QGIS project from around the world get together in a common space. The event is normally three days in duration and we hold two such events each year. During these events, contributors to the QGIS project take the opportunity to plan their work, hold face-to-face discussions and present new improvements to the QGIS project that they have been working on. Everybody attending the event donates their time to the project for the days of the event. As a project that is built primarily through online collaboration, these meetings provide a crucial ingredient to the future development of the QGIS project. The event is planned largely as an ‘unconference’ with minimal structured programme planning. We do this to allow attendees the freedom to meet dynamically with those they encounter at the event. Those sessions that are planned are advertised on the event web page and we try to enable remote participation through video conferencing software. Although our hosts are not funded and donate the working space to us, we show our appreciation by making one of our software release’s splash screens in honour of that host, which is a great way to gain exposure of your institution and country to the hundreds of thousands of users that make use of QGIS.
When attending our meetings we ask you to please abide by the QGIS diversity statement and Code of Conduct. We also ask attendees to respect local laws, customs and culture and be good ambassadors for the QGIS project.

Attendants need to organize their own accommodation. Hotels are not cheap in The Netherlands, double rooms starting from around 80 euros per night. Make sure you book early!
Good to know, 's-Hertogenbosch == Den Bosch. Both place names are used a lot and refer to the exact same town. 's-Hertogenbosch is the official, snobby ;) name while Den Bosch is short and easier to spell.
By Train: 's-Hertogenbosch can be easily reached by train. Check itineraries and options offered by NS, NS international, DB, SBB, etc.
Places to get off the international trains are Breda schedule, Arnhem schedule and Deventer schedule.
The website treinreiziger has information about cheaper train tickets.
By Plane: ‘s-Hertogenbosch is located approximately 80 Km from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, and 40 Km from Eindhoven Airport. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has direct flights from a large number of destinations in he world. Eindhoven airport serves many cheap airlines from European destinations.
From Schiphol: There is an intercity connection from the railway station (beneath the airport) to 's-Hertogenbosch. Direct trains depart every 30 minutes and the trip takes about 1 hour. schedule
From Eindhoven: Eindhoven Airport is the second airport, hosting cheap airlines with flights to/from many European destinations. You can take a shuttle bus from Eindhoven airport to Eindhoven station and then take a train to 's-Hertogenbosch. schedule
By Bike: Most popular Dutch transport is of course the bike! Biking in 's-Hertogenbosch is convenient and fun, and will allow you to reach the cheaper hotels a bit further away from the venue. If you would like to use a bike during your stay, please point it out in the registration table. Mind that the rental costs about 20 euros per bike, so please only book one if you are going to use it.

Always bring your favourite sports gear to contributor meetings and find out who will join you for some exercise.

If you are coming to a QGIS Contributors event for the first time, you may be a little lost and confused about what you should do when you get there. For this event (and hopefully future events if it works well), we will have an "onboarding day" with a variety of workshops to help you get started in the QGIS Community.
The onboarding day program (Thursday March 12) has workshops in 2 parallel tracks. Please register to the workshops you'd like to attend by putting your name and email in the participants list.
We will finish the day with some well deserved drinks. They taste better!

Reporting issues is a very nice way to start contributing to QGIS. It can be scary at the beginning, but soon as you start receiving feedback and see issues being solved, it is so rewarding!
In this workshop we will see how to report an issue properly. We will check good and bad examples from the QGIS issue queue. We will try to reproduce existing issues to improve bug triage.
- The excepted duration is: 90'
- Material: bring your computer with QGIS installed
- New comers: please create a github account before the workshop, if possible.
