[OSM-talk-be] Meetup about rendering of maps

[Jo]

Yes, we can look into github on Wednesday evening. Joost, please set up a
repo for it.

OK, so with a bit of luck we have Clem to show Maperitive and Pieter to
show QGIS for rendering.

Yesterday I started watching this series:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7HotvlLKHCs9nD1fFUjSOsZrsnctyV2R

This explains it quite succinctly, but putting it into practice is still a
challenge with QGIS. Mine crashes a lot. Now I'm thinking it would be
better if I would involve PostGIS, instead of working with files, for a
larger region.

Somehow Maperitive was able to cope with it, but there my problem is
automating the workflow to get consistent results.
