The Quantum GIS project is always looking for people to publish QGIS case studies (user stories) on the QGIS website. Therefore we kindly ask institutions, universtities, authorities, and companies to write down their experience in using QGIS to solve their probems in a certain project or their every day live. Please contact the QGIS community-team, if you want to send us your story.

Structure

The stories should follow a simple structure and we suggest to write about 800 words including one or two screenshot.

1. Title
2. Short Introduction with background of the company / institute / authority / university (length about 200 words)
3. Story about your project/application and what QGIS is used for (length about 400 words plus screenshots)
4. Conclusion showing positive experiences/benefits using QGIS (length about 200 words)
