Hi Finn Arne & all,

I am looking forward to our informal gathering. I am particularly interested in online mapping. I am a self-taught GIS (and web GIS) user and I would happily share my competences on that, including QGIS, CartoDB, Google Maps. What I would especially like to learn is how to produce online interactive maps without using existing services such as Carto DB, Google maps etc.

I know for instance that Leaflet (leafletjs.com/) allows you to build an online interactive map entirely customizable and it seems relatively easy to use, but you also need serv space and at any rate the steps to get from a csv or a shapefile to an online customized product are not clear to me. I have read that there are also QGIS plug-ins to do that, but I don’t know much more about.

If someone can provide guidance on this, I would be a particularly avid learner.

Cheers

Giacomo
