Bantuan YouTube

Berbanding dengan pengguna Open Source software (OSS), pengguna GIS yang menghadapi masalah semasa menggunakan perisian proprietari boleh terus menghubungi vendor untuk mendapat bantuan teknikal. Bantuan seperti ini tiada bagi pengguna OSS tentulah kerana ianya diperolehi percuma. Maka, bantuan teknikal amat bergantung kepada komuniti OSS termasuk developer dan pengguna.  Kalau OSS tersebut adalah popular, kemungkinan besar, pertanyaan berkaitan dengan perisian itu terdapat di Internet. Selain dari QGIS Users Mailing List dan the Developers Mailing List, bagi bantuan melalui klip video, saya syor YouTube. Ianya merupakan sumber terbaik untuk mendapatkan maklumat ini. Bilangan klip video mengenai QGIS tidak tetap, sentiasa dinamik dan bergantung kepada sumbangan dari ahli-ahli YouTube. Saya lihat semakin popular QGIS, semakin banyak klip video QGIS. Hari ini, saya aktifkan YouTube, taip 'qgis' dalam kotak pertanyaan dan dinyatakan sudah terdapatnya 959 klip video dalam pelbagai bahasa. Sekiranya pertanyaan perlu lebih spesifik, pertanyaan seharusnya dibuat berpandukan perkataan-perkataan tertentu.

YouTube help

Unlike one who uses Open Source software (OSS), the person who gets stuck when using a proprietary software can easily contact the vendor to get technical support. The problem for OSS is that there is no such support since it was obtained free. Thus, technical support much depends on the community inclusive of developers and users that support the particular OSS. If it is popular, chances are queries related to that software might have been addresses over the Internet so a user needs to make the appropriate query using an Internet search engine. Other than the QGIS Users Mailing List and the Developers Mailing List, for help via video clips I recommend YouTube. It is a valuable source of information. The number of video clips pertaining to QGIS there is uncertain because it is always dynamic and depends on the contributions made by YouTube registered members. Today, I looked up YouTube, typed in 'qgis' in the search box and the result showed there is currently 959 video clips which includes from a variety of languages which is a lot by any standards. If the search is specific, then the query made should shortlist the query to a number of key words.
