| \section{What is GRASS}
| |
| | |
| GRASS (Geographic Ressources Analysis Support System) is a free and Open Source Software for
| |
| performing spatial analyses. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D),
| |
| raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics,
| |
| databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exists. It is the biggest Open Source GIS at all
| |
| and can serve as a Desktop GIS and as a backbone in a complete GIS Infrastructure as well.
| |
| | |
| \section{Where is GRASS used}
| |
| | |
| GRASS is used in scientific aplications, commercercial settings and by public authorities all over
| |
| the world. GRASS has shown his strong potential for solving geospatial problems in numberous cases
| |
| all over the world.
| |
| | |
| \section{History}
| |
| | |
| Originally developed in the beginning of the 80's by the US Army Construction Engineering Research
| |
| Laboratories (USA-CERL), it was published as public domain software. When the USA- CERL withdrew
| |
| from the development of GRASS an international developer team overtook this work. Since 1999 GRASS
| |
| is published as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.

| \section{Open Source Philosophy}
| |
| | |
| The Open Source philosophy provides the user the ability to see the source code and structure of the
| |
| program which offers a great transparancy. The user can easily extend the program for his own needs.
| |
| With the help of the extension manager own modules can be created without any source code.

| | ==Ideas collection== |
| | * Coorporate Identity OSGeo |
| | * Large use of screenshots / examples (''does anybody know how to create screenshots with high resolution?'') |
| | * Large use of case studies |
| | * THIS IS FOR SALARY, so it must look professional |
|
| |
