<p>Hi Rowan,</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply.</p>
<p>We are happy to have your help! Feel free to join the user
mailing list, IRC channel, and to join our meetings. The meetings
are on the wiki: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Terrain">https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Terrain</a></p>
<p>You can also join the orga-meetings if you are interested in
helping out with WHY2025 from any team.

</p>
<p>In previous editions, the map was made using a 2d CAD program
(Confusingly called Qcad) and a bunch of custom scripts.<br>
</p>
<p>We haven't really decided if we want to keep the old
infrastructure or change it around. Specifically, although you can
do mapping in Qgis, it doesn't seem to be designed for designing
new areas (but rather for documenting existing places). If you
have more experience with QGIS and disagree with this statement,
we would love to discuss with you.<br>
</p>
<p>The other problem with QGIS is that it's data format doesn't seem
to be very suitable for storing in git. I've found kart
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kartproject.org/">https://kartproject.org/</a>) as a possible solution, but I haven't
found time to try using it yet. If you have opinions on this
subject I'm also very interested.</p>
<p>Sorry for not informing you in time to join the most recent
meeting. We are hoping to have a discussion on the techincal
infrastructure soon, and I think Redlizard will be inviting you.</p>
<p>Kind Regards,</p>
<p>Bart / "Uglyhack"<br>

<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I'd
be happy to help out with team terrain if my help would still be
useful :) </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I
have extensive academic experience with GIS, so I know my way
around QGIS and ArcGIS to do GIS analysis and map making. <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Also,
I made this open GIS course if you want to get started with it
yourself: <span><a target="_blank"
