GRASS people, let's meet! Because until the GRASS Community Sprint in March 2018 there's still a looong way to go and there are topics that have been on the agenda for quite some time already... but especially because it is always so nice and fun to meet :D

Important dates:

  • Fri, 10 Nov 2017, 12:00 - Mon 13 Nov 2017 (open end)

Purpose and Agenda

Discuss and tackle topics such as:

  • Specs for GRASS GIS 8
  • What's missing for the 7.4.0 release
  • Set up new website (asap) with responsive design
  • Development:
    • Migration to git
    • Include/invite more core developers
    • have more grass-dev meetings
  • Funding:
    • define concrete goals to be funded
    • discuss measures and overall system
    • rewrite list of sponsors
  • GSoC:
    • Review and (possible) integration of GSoC 2017 work
  • Outreach:
    • offer more GRASS GIS courses, like on osgeo-nl
    • more online material, use Sphinx
    • generate tons of 1min videos
    • Initiatives: one new user a day
    • launch a lime survey to know who uses GRASS GIS
    • convert manual to Sphinx
    • Docker image with tests & benchmarks
  • GRASS GIS startup
    • discuss other possibilities for GRASS GIS startup

Sponsors

If you are interested to sponsor the GRASS Community Sprint, please read about
    sponsoring the GRASS project at http://grass.osgeo.org/donations/
and, if needed, contact Markus Neteler <neteler at osgeo.org>. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to the GRASS GIS project.

The GRASS Community Sprint is a great occasion for you to support the development of GRASS. With your contribution you'll enable more developers to meet. The community sprint is an important opportunity for the GRASS developers to discuss and collaboratively resolve bugs, plan the direction for the project and work on new features. The developers and contributors are donating their valuable time, so it would be great if in-kind funding can be made available from within the community to cover out-of-pocket expenses. All of the work that takes place at the community sprint will be directly contributed back into the GRASS project to the benefit of everyone who uses it.

Thanks to our sponsors
