Digital Mapping Solutions, and Nathan Woodrow, would like to announce the first version of IntraMaps Roam - a simple, but flexible, Windows based data collection application built using Python and QGIS.
IntraMaps Roam (or Roam for short) is a standalone, fully bundled, Python application that was created to do data collection with a QGIS backend. For those of you who have seen my QMap project Nathan started a year or so ago you can consider this a reincarnation of that project. Most of the code has been reworked and using the QGIS libs gave him full flexibility in layout.
The release page can be found at https://github.com/DMS-Aus/Roam/releases/tag/v2.0 and the wiki with all the information to get started at: https://github.com/DMS-Aus/Roam/wiki You can also take a look at the FAQ for the common questions: https://github.com/DMS-Aus/Roam/wiki/FAQ
Roam has been a great exercise in using and bundling QGIS libs with a Python application.
As Roam is based on PyQt and QGIS it is under the GPL2 license. Pull requests are welcome.
