The ''GRASS Community Meeting'' for contributors and developers will be happening from '''July 11 - 19, 2026''' in [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/46990#map=12/46.1349/11.1947 San Michele all'Adige, Trentino, Italy].

== Purpose ==
The ''GRASS Community Meeting'' is a great occasion for folks to support the development by actively contributing to the project in different ways. These include source code updates, documentation (manuals, wiki, tutorials), translations, website improvements or likewise. The community meeting is also a get-together where supporters, contributors, power users and developers make decisions and tackle larger problems related to the project, discuss and collaboratively resolve bugs, plan the direction for the project and work on new features. We welcome people committed to improving the GRASS project and the interfaces to QGIS, GDAL, PostGIS, R, OGC Services and others.

The focus is on GRASS maintenance, and interaction with other projects. Many maintenance tasks, infrastructure changes, and planning of large changes especially benefits from maintainers being in one place and time zone. While the specific topics highly depend on the participants, we will prioritize topics which require highly synchronous collaboration, such as the CMake build system transition and API transitions. The [https://grass.osgeo.org/news/2025_05_27_grass_dev_summit_report/ 2025 event report] gives an overview of what was achieved last year.

We do require participants to work on GRASS or connections to other projects. However, we leave them the freedom to work on what they think is the best contribution to the project given their skills and time available.

Registration is free; participants cover their own travel and lodging, often with employer support — thank you. Ideally we'd reimburse everyone, and every [https://numfocus.org/donate-to-grass donation] or [https://grass.osgeo.org/contribute/sponsoring/ employer sponsorship] of the project helps us get closer.

== Venue ==
The meeting will be hosted at [https://fmach.it/ Fondazione Edmund Mach] (FEM) in San Michele all'Adige, Trentino, Italy — about 15 km north of Trento. FEM is a research and education center with on-site facilities that allow participants to work, sleep, and eat in the same location.

[https://maps.app.goo.gl/5YEuEts6qXvky7HD9 Map]

=== Getting there ===

San Michele all'Adige is reachable by train on the Trento–Bolzano line (San Michele all'Adige–Mezzocorona station), with frequent connections from Trento (~15 minutes) and Verona (~1 hour). The nearest airports are Verona (VRN), Venice Marco Polo (VCE) and Treviso (TSF), Milan Bergamo (BGY), Malpensa (MXP), and Linate (LIN), Bologna (BLQ), and Innsbruck (INN) in Austria. Trento is also the host city of FOSS4G Italy 2026 (July 9–11), making it convenient to combine both events.

== Accommodation and Costs ==

''Registration is free''. However, participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel
* Lodging

Participants can stay on-site at the FEM convitto (dormitory), keeping the community together for the full duration of the meeting:

* €35 per person per night
* Double and triple rooms (triples include a small kitchen)
* A mandatory on-site supervisor is required at €200 per night (flat fee, shared across the group)
* Family members are welcome to stay in the dormitory as well
* [https://cif.fmach.it/content/download/2701/78358/file/brochure_convitto.pdf Brochure]
* Details to be communicated soon.

For anyone preferring alternative lodging, hotels and B&Bs are available in San Michele and nearby Trento.

Lunches on weekdays can be taken at the FEM canteen (mensa), located on the same campus. Details and pricing are being finalized.

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Bring {{wikipedia|AC power plugs and sockets|power adapter}} if needed (Italy: 230V, 50Hz, {{wikipedia|Europlug|Type C}}, {{wikipedia|Schuko|Type F}}, and {{wikipedia|AC power plugs and sockets: L|Type L}} sockets are common)
* Install git and the compiler tools, and come with a working GRASS development environment if possible. See [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md here] for details.

== FAQ ==

* ''Is this a conference?''
** Talks or presentations may be included, but the purpose is to work together on the project. Among conference formats, the closest comparison would be a participatory workshop.
* ''Is this a hackathon?''
** While there is plenty of intensive coding, the meeting is not competitive. We meet to collaborate.
* ''Is the GRASS Community Meeting for developers only?''
** No, the meeting is open to all users, supporters, contributors, power users, and developers ''who want to make a meaningful contribution to the project''.
* ''What skills do I need?''
** Coding skills are not required. Contributions to documentation, tutorials, translations, website, and testing are all valuable. Practical help during the meeting, such as coordinating meals, photography, or reporting, is a real contribution too.
* ''Can I attend remotely?''
** The meeting is in-person, but everyone is welcome to use the same week for focused work on the project from wherever they are.
* ''What language is used during the meeting?''
** English is the working language, but you may hear several other languages spoken at the event.
* ''How was it last time?''
** Splendid! See [[GRASS Developer Summit Raleigh 2025]]!
* ''Where can I get help and more information about the community meeting?''
** Contact local organizer [[User:Lucadelu|Luca Delucchi]] (<tt><lucadeluge at gmail com></tt>) or [[User:wenzeslaus|Vaclav Petras]] (<tt><wenzeslaus at gmail com></tt>) for budget questions.
* ''What if I can't spend time on this?''
** Can you spend money instead? [https://numfocus.org/donate-to-grass Donate to GRASS through NumFOCUS] to help keep the project going.

== Participants ==

* Anna
* Vashek
* Nicklas
* Markus
* Paulo
* Linda
* Helli
* Huidae
* Vero
* Luca (guest)

== Agenda ==

The topics proposed are:

* Annual budget request submitted to OSGeo
* Community Meeting - San Michele: date, planning, budget requests
* Releases
* GSoC
* [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-use-policy AI policy]
* Plan PSC elections/role changes for later this year (some of us have been in PSC since Feb 2021)
* Budget
** Where are we at time?
** Fundraising efforts

== Minutes ==

* 1. Budget
** OSGeo:
*** The annual budget request was submitted. See https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Budget_2026. OSGeo has allocated $1,600 of the $2,000 originally requested. Budget for swags should be requested from the Marketing Committee, which is why they cut 400 USD.
** Numfocus
*** Their interface for money is not as transparent as OpenCollective; there’s no public view of the contributors or the money we have in their bucket
*** We've been with them for a year now, and they are still not our fiscal hosts in Redbubble and OpenCollective. They are also going through a transition.

* 2. Community Meeting - San Michele
** OSGeo allocated 2500 USD, originally requested 5500 USD. See: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Community_Meeting_2026:_Budget.
** By the beginning of March, Luca will meet FEM director, and we should then have an idea if we can stay at Convito in San Michele, so everything happens in San Michele, or if not, we search for university options in Trento, i.e., working rooms and housing.
** [Action] Create a wiki for the event.
** [Action] FOSSGIS e.V. request: will be handled by MN based on the one from [https://www.fossgis.de/wiki/Förderanträge/GRASS_GIS_Community_Meeting_2024 2024]

* 3. Annual report 2025
** Published as a news item on the website
** It also served to meet the OSGeo requirement for budget request
** Nice new writing style with mentions to people actually doing things, as well as funding

* 4. Releases
** MN, NL, and Edouard had a branching session
** New 8.5 branch: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/tree/releasebranch_8_5
** Waiting for Martin Landa to create the branch on Windows server
** Jupyter integration should be ready soon and will be backported to 8.5, to be part of the release.
** CMake is mostly functional, even for addons (those that were added), but documentation cannot yet be built with CMake.
** NL requested us to test CMake: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_With_CMake
** HC: Fixing issues in CMake for Windows.
** FHS is not ready yet; there's a big PR waiting for after the release.
** Conda: HC is working on a conda package for Windows.
** Documentation: Materials for Mkdocs style is retiring, we should transition to a supported theme. Just maybe not for the 8.5 release.

* 5. GSoC
** First year we participate under Numfocus if they are accepted
** We don’t know how many students we’ll get; it’s not clear how it works with Numfocus (is there a GSoC liaison/responsible person as in OSGeo?)

* 6. GRASS website
** There's a new version of packages and dependencies soon to be deployed
** Build to be moved to github-actions. Then the artifact has to be uploaded to OSGeo server (limitation: it needs a token that expires yearly).
** Corey to be added to the list of GRASS people with access to the OSGeo server
*** [Action] VP will invite him, then create the SAC ticket needed
** conda missing from the download page, [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/601 issue] created
** download logos were broken for > half a year (?) and nobody realized this, [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/602 issue] created

* 7. AI policy
** Included in the main repo: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-use-policy
** Simple - straightforward criteria that people might actually read, sort of guarantee/reference to close bad/meaningless PRs.
** Anna wrote it in response to the huge amount of PRs we are getting lately that are clearly created with AI, with no further understanding of GRASS.
** Many PRs are about tests, but they are not meaningful tests. It would be interesting to have instructions to create tests, so that contributors can train AI with instructions and create better tests.
*** Corey is preparing instructions for Copilot, so it has context for code writing/reviewing.

* 8. PSC elections
** Some PSC members have been in PSC since Feb 2021, and as we decided back then, [https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/PSC/Minutes/PSC_Meeting_20210203#Electiondebrief mandates should last max 6 years].
** [Action] Start planning by July, during the Community Meeting.

* 9. Mailman
** Move translation, grass-gui and grass-stats lists to read-only mode; make a last post saying we are closing it, and ask SAC to do so (keeping their archives).

*** Their interface for money is not as transparent as OpenCollective; there’s no public view of the contributors or the money we have in their bucket
*** We've been with them for a year now, and they are still not our fiscal hosts in Redbubble and OpenCollective. They are also going through a transition.

* 2. Community Meeting - San Michele
** OSGeo allocated 2500 USD, originally requested 5500 USD. See: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Community_Meeting_2026:_Budget.
** By the beginning of March, Luca will meet FEM director, and we should then have an idea if we can stay at Convito in San Michele, so everything happens in San Michele, or if not, we search for university options in Trento, i.e., working rooms and housing.
** [Action] Create a wiki for the event.
** [Action] FOSSGIS e.V. request: will be handled by MN based on the one from [https://www.fossgis.de/wiki/Förderanträge/GRASS_GIS_Community_Meeting_2024 2024]

* 3. Annual report 2025
** Published as a news item on the website
** It also served to meet the OSGeo requirement for budget request
** Nice new writing style with mentions to people actually doing things, as well as funding

* 4. Releases
** MN, NL and Edouard had a branching session
** New 8.5 branch: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/tree/releasebranch_8_5
** Waiting for Martin Landa to create the branch on Windows server
** Jupyter integration should be ready soon and will be backported to 8.5, to be part of the release.
** CMake is mostly functional, even for addons (those that were added), but documentation cannot yet be built with CMake.
** NL requested us to test CMake: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_With_CMake
** HC: Fixing issues in CMake for Windows.
** FHS is not ready yet; there's a big PR waiting for after the release.
** Conda: HC is working on a conda package for Windows.
** Documentation: Materials for Mkdocs style is retiring, we should transition to a supported theme. Just maybe not for the 8.5 release.

* 5. GSoC
** First year we participate under Numfocus if they are accepted
** We don’t know how many students we’ll get; it’s not clear how it works with Numfocus (is there a GSoC liaison/responsible person as in OSGeo?)

* 6. GRASS website
** There's a new version of packages and dependencies soon to be deployed
** Build to be moved to github-actions. Then the artifact has to be uploaded to OSGeo server (limitation: it needs a token that expires yearly).
** Corey to be added to the list of GRASS people with access to the OSGeo server
*** [Action] VP will invite him, then create the SAC ticket needed
** conda missing from the download page, [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/601 issue] created
** download logos were broken for > half a year (?) and nobody realized this, [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/602 issue] created

* 7. AI policy
** Included in the main repo: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-use-policy
** Simple - straightforward criteria that people might actually read, sort of guarantee / reference to close bad/meaningless PRs.
** Anna wrote it in response to the huge amount of PRs we are getting lately that are clearly created with AI, with no understanding of GRASS.
** Many PRs are about tests, but they are not meaningful tests. It would be interesting to have instructions to create tests, so that contributors train AI with instructions and create better tests.
*** Corey is preparing instructions for Copilot, so it has context for code writing/reviewing.

* 8. PSC elections
** Start planning PSC elections/role changes for later this year (some of us have been in PSC since Feb 2021, mandates should last max 6 years).
** [Action] Start planning by July, say during the Community Meeting.

* 9. Mailman
** Move translation, grass-gui and grass-stats lists to read-only mode; make a last post saying we are closing it, and ask SAC to do so (keeping their archives).

* Nicklas Larsson
* Paulo van Breugel
* Vaclav Petras
* Veronica Andreo

== Agenda ==

The topics proposed are:

* Report from NumFOCUS Project Summit (VP)
* GRASS Wiki under DDOS attack, see https://discourse.osgeo.org/t/grass-wiki-under-ddos-attack/150717
* New wiki page: [[Organizing GRASS Contributor Events]]
* GRASS Meeting 2026 - Luca's proposal
* Upcoming releases:
** Release 8.4.2 (due to relevant [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/compare/8.4.1...releasebranch_8_4 fixes]; the branch-CI is also functional again) - [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/milestone/27 milestone]
** Release 8.5.0 - [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/milestone/22 milestone]
* Reimburse Alen for stickers he bought to take to NZ

== Minutes ==

* Report from NumFOCUS Project Summit:
** VP participated of the NumFOCUS projects summit; there were not many other projects attending.
** There are calls for small grants (USD 10K per project per year), that we should apply for, and ideally use them for development.
** It seems we need to apply as a project, but it is not clear who submits. In any case, the person interested in the money should lead the effort. See: https://numfocus.org/programs/small-development-grants.
** We had a meeting with them on Tue 18th, but AP will ask them to move it because neither VP nor VA can attend. New date: Dec 10th, 2025.

* GRASS wiki under attack:
** MN set up countermeasures on the server, instructions to be dumped in our infrastructure shared doc
** Not everyone has access to that doc, so we shall review and discuss our shared folder and files “policy”.

* New wiki page on organizing GRASS events:
** https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Organizing_GRASS_Contributor_Events.

* GRASS meeting San Michele 2026:
** See [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-psc/2025-September/003054.html Luca's proposal].
** Nicklas is not available for any of the proposed dates.
** AP and VP depend on the green card, if they get it on time, any of the dates are fine.
** Paulo: 50% with the second date.
** HC: probably the second date.
** MN and VA: any date fine for now.
** Linda: new baby coming! Congrats!

* Release 8.4:
** VP and MN will agree on a date soon to do the release together.
** Edouard will be invited, too.

* Release 8.5:
** It will have CMake in the source code as experimental feature to try for users who compile code themselves (but extensions won’t work for them).
** FHS won’t work with CMake yet.
** It’s a matter of communication about what’s there in the source code. Binaries will be with autotools, so addons will work.
** Blockers: there’s an issue with r.blend and something with r.patch with vrt and nprocs > 1 (the latter found by Metz, but still unreported)
** New python API, VP will call for a webinar on it by mid-dec, to show how it works and collect some feedback, too.
** JSON stuff and mkdocs is in good shape to go.
** Jupyter notebook PR needs to be reviewed, it does not work in windows, but this is not a blocker, we can mark it as experimental.
** Drop support for PROJ < 8 and GDAL < 3? Nicklas created issues to get feedback, it could be done before the release. See [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/6628 #6628] and [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/6629 #6629].

* Motion proposed and passed to reimburse Alen for the stickers. VP will contact Michael Smith, so Alen gets reimbursed.

* Plan extraordinary meeting - PSC + Luca to plan 2026 budget + community meeting when the call for OSGeo budget is out.
** VP proposal: include an item to promote GRASS in other than FOSS4G conferences.

[[Category:PSC]]

PSC Meeting 2025-08-08

2025-08-10T14:17:29Z

Veroandreo: /* Minutes */

== Participants ==

* Anna Petrasova
* Helmut Kudrnovsky
* Huidae Cho
* Linda Karlovska
* Nicklas Larsson
* Paulo van Breugel
* Vaclav Petras
* Veronica Andreo

== Agenda ==

The topics proposed are:

* GRASS presence on different events
* Release 8.5
* New docs status
* Website rebranding status
* Mailing list removal? Question from Vicky in chat
* Decide on the Workspace topic and whether the solution suggested [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/discussions/5916#discussioncomment-14045240 here] can be implemented. This would help to finalize and merge this [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/3113 PR].
* Discussion on the [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/discussions/5909 workflow proposal]. Perhaps we need a File Browser pane?

== Minutes ==

* GRASS presence on different events
** FOSS4G EU: Alen presented the state of GRASS talk.
** FOSS4G NA (Nov 3-5)
*** Workshop: GRASS Addon Development with Python, Corey & Caitlin.
*** Talk: GRASS Meets Longest Flow Paths, Shortest Compute Times, Huidae.
*** Talk: State of GRASS, Corey.
** FOSS4G 2025 NZ:
*** Alen and Luca will attend and present the state of GRASS talk (Corey as co-author as he wrote the original abstract).
** FOSS4G.be: Moritz will present a state of GRASS talk

* GRASS 8.5 Release postponed to fall
** Waiting for JSON stuff from GSoC, which needs to be reviewed before release.
** Fix r.mapcalc issues regarding parallelization.
** Mac binaries: There's an issue with code signing. Needs to be solved before the release.
** Release scripts are in addons, and they run in a Docker image. Still several steps need to be manual and they are different depending on the type of release, i.e., major, minor, micro or RC.
** Jupyter notebook integration into GUI. Some things need to be defined/solved first:
*** Where to start the Jupyter server?
*** Where to store the notebooks: current working directory, let users choose, outside projects, within mapsets, provide a good default?
*** What happens when users do not have the dependencies installed?
*** It should work in Windows (both OSGeo4W and standalone installer).
** FHS should be ready for 8.6

* New docs:
** They are up and running, but there's still something missing on the automatic upload part.
** There’s the question of whether we need to have docs updated all the time or only when we release. In that sense, this is not a blocker for the release, but a nice-to-have.
** For this release, we do not remove the HTML files, which are mostly used locally in the GUI or when called with g.manual from the terminal.
** Addon docs with new format: they work online.

* GSoC:
** The student and mentors are working hard on adding JSON output to C tools.
** They are obsoleting the -g flag and moving to the format option.
** More clean-up should be done before GRASS 9 + Python tools.

* CMake:
** We need 3 steps: FHS ([https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/5630 PR WIP]), GUI (Nicklas has a follow-up PR, but will need help with this), extensions (nothing done so far).
** MSVC binaries are built fine, but they don’t work out of the box because of missing environment variables; Can make them work by manually setting environment variables though; g.gui fails with Python exceptions

* Vicky's questions in the [https://matrix.to/#/!BOjyJgENYOLyXbRKxO:gitter.im/$xIdFsIr_HiEm6ASHtQCEt7GQkIrz_5zlLKOr-UpZLgo?via=gitter.im&via=matrix.org&via=osgeo.org GRASS chat]:
** We need to understand what they want to remove, and why; grass-user and grass-dev archives must not be removed, and neither must other list archives. ** Anna sends an email to Vicky.

* Workspace discussion:
** We agreed on having them within mapsets, but being asked if we want to save them or not - the opposite view is to save them automatically with a timer or so
* Anna proposed to remove the lock to delete maps in different mapsets from the GUI - check if this is independent from the owners of mapsets.

*my focus was on developing a draft/test tutorial (in Quarto) for a standard basic hydrological study workflow [extraction of nested as well as disconnected study streams and watersheds informed by ground-truthed stream CHIP and outlet point data and estimating stream segment length, watershed area, mean slope, etc.]. The tutorial includes the crucial pre-work of how to figure out the most appropriate project/location and extent for elevation data import [e.g., if region of interest is much smaller than tile extent and/or spans multiple tiles] as well as considerations of some of the downstream impacts of resolution, extent, region etc. when additional datasets with different resolutions and extents (e.g., roads, land cover, sampling points) may be incorporated later.

19 May
* discussed a novice user issue with 'moving' vector data from one project/location to another with Vero and learned a neat GUI option
* revised and added workflow tutorial text

23 May
* tested workflow

24 May
* worked on tutorial qmd
* explored different alternatives for transforming aspect for computation of mean watershed aspect within GRASS and with R and Python

* Quick ideas, way too much for a week: Helping others (may take a reasonable part of the time), managing CI, setting up localization template updating workflow, backporting tool? Pytest/coverage improvements? Discuss and design other projects, to work on during the year. Open to change on other priorities once there, anything that is useful. Maybe make a little progress on high dpi GUI, especially on Windows.

PSC Meeting 2025-05-23

Veroandreo: add minutes

Extraordinary PSC meeting during the GRASS Developer Summit in Raleigh, NC.

== Participants ==

* Huidae Cho
* Linda Karlovska
* Markus Neteler
* Nicklas Larsson
* Vaclav Petras
* Veronica Andreo

== Agenda ==

The topics proposed are:

* NumFOCUS onborading
* GRASS Roadmap

== Minutes ==

* The discussion was mostly focused on our new status as a NumFOCUS fiscally sponsored project, clarifications, and decisions regarding the onboarding with them. The roadmap/future of GRASS discussion was moved to Saturday, May 24, at the Summit.
* Those of us signing the FSA voted on the Doodle to have a meeting with them
* NumFOCUS Code of Conduct adoption - We decided to go with their CoC.
* The next step is to follow their branding requests: add their logo on our website (suggestion: use the FOSS4G partial), add a section within the Governance page, add a link to the CoC on the website, and change the one we have on GitHub, among other things.
* Clarifications:
** NumFOCUS vs OSGeo: we remain part of OSGeo, and NumFOCUS has now become our new fiscal sponsor
** NumFOCUS fee structure: they take a 10% fee
** NumFOCUS will do reimbursements of future sprints, if it is money within GRASS bucket
** FOSSGIS and other direct sponsors will directly reimburse participants (as before)
** How the rest works (bills, etc.) is to be found out during onboarding
* Letter sent to OSGeo Board about new GRASS Fiscal Sponsorship and rebranding: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2025-May/013696.html
** No reaction so far

* have been working on developing a workflow-tool tutorial template that facilitates GRASS learners who tend to 'jump in' or have a 'choose your own adventure' approach to learning GRASS (i.e., want to use their data for their study area for their objective from the start). The structure of the tutorial template is a concise, basic, general description/instructions of the workflow with optional links to pertinent explanatory/deeper dive content (e.g., plain language explainers of the tool, options, defaults, etc.) in a variety of formats (e.g., captioned images, short tool demo videos (30 sec to 2 min)) in addition to the more comprehensive resources available (e.g. documentation, examples, tutorials). The main motivation for this approach is to help new and occasional GRASS users avoid some of the common pitfalls and to learn how to find workarounds for some of the unanticipated challenges they may encounter with their specific datasets or use cases so that they can learn as they go. Another motivation for this approach is to facilitate the translation, extension, and updating of workflow tutorials by the community over time (e.g., providing audio and closed captioning for one of the tool-demo videos in another language, replacing an outdated GUI demo with one for the current release, or incorporating a new add-on as an option in the workflow).

* my focus this week is on developing a draft/test tutorial (in Quarto) for a standard hydrological modelling workflow that begins with the crucial pre-work of how to figure out the appropriate project/location, etc. as well as considerations of some of the downstream impacts of resolution, extent, region etc. It may not be ready for sharing by the end of the week, but suggestions and advice are welcomed in advance.

=== Michelle (Mimi) Stephens | ERDC ===

* Previous work: coupling R and Python scripts for computational analysis in GRASS.
* Current work: Running through GRASS commands to create visual outputs that can be added to the new GRASS 8.5 manual pages - r.mapcalc, v.surf.rst, examples with topographic parameters, LinkedIn requests.
* Tutorial for Windows users to install a WSL2 Linux environment. Creates a conda environment with wxpython, installs GRASS without requiring OSGeo installer. Fast, simple, and minimal install. Resolves various issues encountered in government due to automatic Windows updates, cyber security, vpn routing, user preference, and isolated distro can be completely removed if needed. -> Motivation for WSL2 - wanted more hands-on practice with Unix command line tools for HPC; Docker not allowed, but miniforge and Apptainer are on ERDC's HPC; able to install grass via command line (only on internet-capable HPC systems); AND - For other users that always wanted a more native feel to their grass instance!
* Future work: Presenting on GRASS in JUNE at CERLCON.

* have been working on developing a workflow-tool tutorial template that facilitates GRASS learners who tend to 'jump in' or have a 'choose your own adventure' approach to learning GRASS (i.e., want to use their data for their study area for their objective from the start). The structure of the tutorial template is a concise, basic, general description/instructions of the workflow with optional links to pertinent explanatory/deeper dive content (e.g., plain language explainers of the tool, options, defaults, etc.) in a variety of formats (e.g., captioned images, short tool demo videos (30 sec to 2 min)) in addition to the more comprehensive resources available (e.g. documentation, examples, tutorials). The main motivation for this approach is to help new and occasional GRASS users avoid some of the common pitfalls and to learn how to find workarounds for some of the unanticipated challenges they may encounter with their specific datasets or use cases so that they can learn as they go. Another motivation for this approach is to facilitate the translation, extension, and updating of workflow tutorials by the community over time (e.g., providing audio and closed captioning for one of the tool-demo videos in another language, replacing an outdated GUI demo with one for the current release, or incorporating a new add-on as an option in the workflow).

* my focus this week is on developing a draft/test tutorial (in Quarto) for a standard hydrological modelling workflow that begins with the crucial pre-work of how to figure out the appropriate project/location, etc. as well as considerations of some of the downstream impacts of resolution, extent, region etc. It may not be ready for sharing by the end of the week, but suggestions and advice are welcomed in advance.

* Helmut Kudrnovsky
* Huidae Cho
* Linda Karlovska
* Markus Neteler
* Paulo van Breugel
* Vaclav Petras
* Veronica Andreo

== Agenda ==

The topics proposed are:

* Hosting of GRASS server at OSL, Oregon State University. See: https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/.
* Financial Sponsoring via NumFocus. Status update.
* Conda update
* [[GRASS Developer Summit Raleigh 2025]], NC.
** Remote participation?
** Schedule
* Status of new docs: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass-devel/manuals/
* Status of doc and macOS uploads.
* Status of new branding.
** The main logo on wiki needs server-side update. Current file is https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/w/skins/common/images/grasslogo_wiki.png?3fa1b. (Also, this goes to mapping relation with OSGeo SAC.)
*** 7th May 2025: markusN has updated the logo on the wiki
* Wiki status
** The Main Page needs a major update and, more importantly, a ''complete change of approach''
** Ohloh_Project Widget is broken: [[Widget:Ohloh_Project]] used in [[Software requirements specification]]
*** 7th May 2025: markusN has been updated from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets, error messages here disappeared but the widget is not rendered yet. More time to be spent.
*** VP: Consider if we actually want Widget:Ohloh_Project or Widgets.
** There is no favicon.
*** 7th May 2025: markusN has added the favicon on the wiki
* Website
** we have [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/513 notable SEO issues] on the website which penalize our search engine ranking.
* GSoC.
* Shall we consider applying to Outreachy, too? See: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-psc/2025-March/010525.html.

== Minutes ==

* From previous meeting:
** mailman migration to discourse:
*** The grass-user mailing list has been migrated to Discourse. We can now close grass-web that receives spam mostly.
*** Markus will disable it and put into read-only mode
*** Anna will remove it from the website
*** We should add a “Contact us” something to the website → improve website footer
*** For now, we keep the grass-psc list on mailman, but we are considering merging it to GRASS developer in Discourse, as subscribers are pretty much the same (that is, close down the mailing list). We also keep grass-announce on mailman.
*** We decided to change the grass-stats and grass-translation mailing lists to read-only mode to reduce channel confusion. Markus will do this as he has permission.
** tutorials contributing guide: a [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-tutorials/pull/16 PR] is there, but it seems useless. Vero volunteers to work on it; we are still trying to figure out the workflow (i.e., what to commit and so on).

* Hosting of GRASS server at OSL - Oregon University using OSGeo infrastructure hosted there.
** OSL funding is at risk. We have no action item as OSGeo will handle this, but we will keep an eye on it in case we need to take action.
** News: Seems the next year is again funded.

* NumFOCUS status update: The main reason to go with them is that they provide invoices when someone donates to the project, while OSGeo is not willing to do so, and we are missing some funding/sponsoring opportunities because of that. Also, NumFOCUS brings new funding options.
** Contract draft: edits to PSC description were included.
** OSGeo cannot remain our fiscal host; it will be NumFOCUS; but we can still use the OSGeo money via reimbursements as usual.
** Once the agreement is signed, we’ll meet with their Finance department and go through NumFOCUS onboarding.

* Conda
** Huidae built a Linux conda package, but without FHS
** The Windows conda package is not stable, probably a CMake issue
** There are 2 open issues: conda for Linux and Windows, CMake for Windows
** HC will resume work on it next week
** Instructions to test: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/5067

* GRASS Developer Summit at Raleigh ([https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:GRASS_Developer_Summit_Raleigh_2025 agenda schedule])
** Remote participation? We decided async work is better according to previous years experiences, but we could define a time slot for a call with folks contributing remotely.
** There will be a PSC meeting during the summit: Friday 23, 5pm CET, 11am ET. Calendar invite sent.

* New docs:
** They are up and looking great: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass-devel/manuals/
** Automatic upload from CI to the web server is WIP, needs GHA.
** Only some Python examples do not work, but that should be solvable.
** Corey is working on syncing branding among the website, docs, and tutorials

* JSON: theoretically we have 3: format=json (WIP), –json (implemented), –json-interface-description (not implemented)

* Releases:
** 8.4.2 in some weeks

* New branding:
** Wiki:
*** logo and favicon were updated
*** svg file in the corner? To be checked by MN
*** review the Wiki landing page and redo it
**** highlight PSC and Events categories because that’s the current usage, and remove other links that are already on the website
*** Ohloh/OpenHub Project Widget is broken: let’s remove it
*** Ideas on what to do with all the content we have on the media wiki:
**** obsolete everything and then select what to keep,
**** go topic by topic
**** obsolete everything that was not edited in the last 3 years
**** To be discussed further

* Website SEO issues:
** Our search engine ranking is partially penalized at time. See: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/513

* Website analytics:
** There's the [https://2022.foss4g.org/matomo/ GFOSS.it Matomo] instance, but we do not have much control over it, only MN has a user account, via Luca D.
** OSGeo-SAC related [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2830 ticket] to install Matomo. Anna will revive it and Vashek will ask Howard.
** Corey offered to sponsor it as OpenPlains
** The paid option is around USD 500 yearly

* GSoC:
** We got only one student this year, he'll work on the JSON project.

* Communication means related:
** Further mailman transition to discourse.osgeo.org (grass-user, grass-psc, ...): plans?
** Close "Gitter" channels in favor of discourse.osgeo.org?

* Budget:
** [[GRASS GIS Budget 2025]]
** Application to NumFocus submitted.

* Tutorials:
** Status of new GRASS GIS tutorials at https://grass-tutorials.osgeo.org/: who maintains it and how to get further content into it

** related [https://discourse.osgeo.org/t/re-release-planning-grass-gis-8-4-1/111926 discussion]
** GRASS GIS 8.4.1RC1: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/releases/tag/8.4.1RC1 (please test it)

* NSF Grant:
** Latest updates on [[NSF POSE Project 2023-2025 Timeline#Y2_2nd_quarter_report|NSF POSE]] are in the timeline.

* Upcoming events:
** March: FOSSGIS 2025
*** "Stand des GRASS GIS Projekts: Neuigkeiten und Perspektiven" has been shrunk to a 5min talk :( (see [https://fossgis-konferenz.de/2025/programm/ conf program]). MN finds this ridiculous and complained to the FOSSGIS organizers but nothing...

== Minutes ==

* Communication:
** Migration of user and psc lists to Discourse: The [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3320 ticket] was created, we are waiting for OSGeo budget to be approved as we depend on SAC to do the actual migration.
** Closing Gitter: It is mostly used during code sprints and has proved to be handy. In any case, we agreed we should only keep channels that we can maintain since we have pretty limited manpower to check and reply in all channels. We agreed to return to this topic once all our mailing lists are migrated to Discourse.
** grass-web: We agreed on closing it, but we need to wait until grass-user is migrated to Discourse, so we replace references to it.

* Budget:
** It was submitted in December, we are waiting for OSGeo response.
** NumFocus: Proposal submitted by NCSU folks, waiting for the results.

* Tutorials page:
** The site is now up and running: https://grass-tutorials.osgeo.org/
** The contribution and testing workflows need to be clarified ( [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-tutorials/issues/19 #19]) before the announcement.
** Once the announcement is ready (volunteers?), we post it on social media.
** We agreed that the grass-website GitHub team will also manage grass-tutorials.

* Release 8.4.1:
** We bumped the remaining issues to [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20milestone%3A8.4.2 8.4.2]
** All: please review and test.

* GSoC 2025:
** Page created https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GSoC_Ideas_2025
** All: Add your ideas and volunteer to mentor
** Linda presented a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g3RK6X-u8qIl5UADrzfHN06zOmHBzHe-AHKkG2sLGYA/edit?pli=1&tab=t.nqm972xdzv85 doc] with GUI ideas for Student grants or GSoC. Some include:
*** Shortcuts in the GUI
*** More enhancements to the History panel
*** Drag and drop in GUI
*** Jupyter within the GUI
** Linda will move the content of the doc linked above to issues grouping tasks that can then be assigned to students as tests or altogether become a project in GitHub and/or a project for students' grants or GSoC

* POSE update:
** See the wiki: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/NSF_POSE_Project_2023-2025_Timeline

* Migration of HTML documentation:
** Almost done, but it’s complicated. Addons and deployment need to be finished.
** As with tutorials, we should write an announcement and then post it on social media.

* Publer:
** VA presented the analytics from Publer website, the most active and engaging social network seems to be LinkedIn.
** All: Please help with liking and sharing.

* GRASS logo:
** Drop the GIS part? VP sent the [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-psc/2025-February/002970.html motion] on this to PSC. All: Please vote.
** NCSU POSE folks hired Sarah White to work on it
** Vashek presented an analysis of GRASS logos in the wild, our logo is complex and the trend is going towards simpler logos.
** Presentation was shared with PSC
** There will be a “proposal” with the new logo so PSC votes on it.
