Description: This month's session brings our regular QGIS community pulse check, plus a closer look at two topics shaping how the project runs. We'll dig into how QGIS's democratic decision-making and voting process works. We'll also cover how QGIS user groups function, what it takes to run one, and how they connect back to the wider community. Alongside these, we'll cover our usual monthly roundup: recent releases and changelogs, active grant proposals, conference updates, and a look at the QGIS news feed, download stats, and analytics from analytics.qgis.org. On the docs and web side, we'll touch on recent updates, website changes, and LTR status, plus any active QEPs, notable mailing list threads, and PSC meeting minutes.

Description:
You can do this too! We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world domination and much much more. We encourage language and region-specific huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.
We would really love to see more events offered from our country user groups and broader user base. The content can be at any skill level and in any language you like, and the times can overlap if needed. So please feel free to organise your activities on this wiki page. The QGIS Open Day is also an ideal time to hold virtual country user group meet-ups - please share your activities on the open day schedule, so that even people from outside of your country user group can benefit from your presentations. Contact me (see below) if you need help adding your events to the wiki page.
You can help us by spreading the word! We have prepared the following materials so that you may easily copy and paste the relevant contents to publish on your media platform of choice to let others know about these awesome events.
About QGIS Open Day
Dear QGIS Users
On Friday, 30 October 2026 we will be holding our monthly QGIS Open Day! What is a QGIS Open Day you may be wondering to yourself? It is an initiative to replace the wonderful community meetups we used to hold every six months when times were different. Like our in-person meetings, the event is organised on the principle of self-organisation and community participation.
