DESCRIPTION:Mergin Maps Community edition is an open-source solution made i
 n Europe that enables efficient spatial data collection on mobile devices.
  Its integration with QGIS allows for easy synchronization between mobile 
 and desktop GIS\, making it easy to implement even complex field data coll
 ection workflows\, especially if you are already familiar with QGIS.\n\nWe
  have successfully implemented Mergin Maps for various organizations and p
 rojects across France and Switzerland\, each with distinct requirements an
 d challenges. Our role spans the entire implementation process\, from cons
 ulting on data needs and designing data models to configuring workflows an
 d deploying the Mergin Maps server in a cloud infrastructure. The self-hos
 ted approach gives us full control over data security\, performance\, and 
 customization. Mergin Maps plays an important role in our mission to suppo
 rt public administrations in adopting open-source solutions. The synergy b
 etween Mergin Maps and other FOSS tools like QGIS and PostgreSQL helps dem
 onstrate the power of open-source software\, making it easier for public o
 rganizations to transition away from proprietary systems.\n\nWhile we are 
 not the core developers of Mergin Maps\, we were able to make some improve
 ments to this promising project. In this talk\, we will share our hands-on
  experience\, the benefits we’ve observed\, and the lessons learned from
  using Mergin Maps in real-world field data collection scenarios.
