===Instructors===
*Michael Barton, Arizona State University
*Helena Mitasova, North Carolina State University
*Dylan Beaudette, USDA/NRCS (remote lecture)
*Thomas Adams, NOAA/NWS/Ohio River Forecast Center; email thomas.adams [at] noaa.gov

===How the course will be structured===
====Workshop Participation====
Due to space limitations, participation by non-NOAA/NWS staff is limited to 12 attendees. Attendance will be accepted on a first-come basis. We are asking for a $250 USD fee by each non-NWS participant to be used as a modest honorarium for Michael Barton and Helena Mitasova.
====Monday (Noon-5PM)====
— will be an introduction to GRASS GIS and concepts; lecture with live demonstrations including some hands-on, “getting started” activity the first day to get people interested and have some fun.
====Tuesday - Thursday (8AM-5PM)====
— will have a morning lecture with live demonstrations followed by late morning and afternoon labs and lecture vignettes. We will try to break-up lectures with short lab exercises depending on operational use of OHRFC Linux workstations.
====Friday (8AM-Noon)====
— will cover pre-course submitted specific questions/problems not already planned for the course and those that arise during the week.

The OHRFC will have 12 Linux workstations available for afternoon lab exercises and can easily accommodate 24 participants with doubling-up (10 of the workstations have 3 monitors each); course attendance can accommodate participation from 12 non-NWS attendees. Participants outside of the NWS are encouraged to bring laptops pre-loaded with GRASS GIS 6.4.0, R 2.11.x (or greater), and SQLite.

Lunch will be on-site with delivered Deli Sandwiches, Pizza, and Chinese from Noon to 1PM, Tuesday-Thursday.

== About the project ==

=== Freedom ===

The GRASS GIS project is developed under the terms of the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU General Public License] (the GPL) [http://grass.ibiblio.org/devel/index.php in the open] by [http://grass.ibiblio.org/community/index.php volunteers] the [http://mapserver.gdf-hannover.de/grassusers/map.phtml world over].

GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the professional world in that it is developed and distributed by users for users; mostly on a volunteer basis, in the open, and is given away for free.

Emphasis is placed on interoperability and unlimited access to data as well as software flexibility and evolution rate (both added features and bug minimization).

== Getting Help ==

=== Mailing lists ===

* The primary point of contact for GRASS user help and development coordination is on the [http://grass.ibiblio.org/community/support.php mailing lists]. The answers to many questions you may have will probably already have been addressed and will be waiting for you in the [http://grass.ibiblio.org/searchgrass.php mailing list archives].

* Because the mailing lists are so critical to the project's success, and support comes entirely from time-strapped volunteers and colleagues, we request some [[mailing list etiquette]] be followed.

=== IRC communication ===

IRC is live Internet Relay Chat. The GRASS project maintains a "chatroom" and if you are lucky there may be someone logged on who can give you a quick answer.

=== GRASS education (Free GIS education) ===

The GRASS education (Free GIS education) wiki site offers a start to collect links, text documents and small images. Furthermore it provides a discussion platform to develop and collect approaches, techniques, exercises and course structures for people giving GRASS and/or other Free GIS courses.
