We've done it 🥳
Finally, there's a canonical paper on the #QGIS project, its history, workings, and challenges: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666389925001138
Thanks to @timlinux and @mbernasocchi for joining me in trying to tell the QGIS story 💚

Michel Stuyts - Frontpage
This is the personal website of Michel Stuyts. On these pages I experiment with internet techniques. Here you can get to know me a little.
I redid my personal website in #Python and #Flask. The previous version I made in #PHP, but it was really interesting to learn Flask.
Have a look at www.michelstuyts.be

A printscreen from Visual Code Studio that starts with "- This pl" and Github Copilot wants to autocomplete it to "-This plugin is created by "Hans van der Kwast".
I recently made a new #QGIS plugin to calculate bounding boxes. I use Github Copilot for text autocomplete. And while editing the README file the AI thought my plugin was created by @qwast-gis.com. I'll take that as a compliment.
