Any QGIS user could start writing small Python scripts for automating, customizing and extending QGIS, making their daily workflow an easier and more . . .
Building development environments using Vagrant
During Oskari.org development we noticed releases usually where delayed due to environment differences. Our desktop and server environments are quite different. We believe there should be no differences between the production and development environments. In our research we discovered Vagrant, which utilizes Virtualbox for creating virtual . . .
