Purpose

This second edition of the GRASS GIS community sprint 2012 is a great occasion for folks to support the development by actively contributing to the source code, manuals or likewise. The community sprint is a get-together for GRASS project members and supporters and related <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.osgeo.org/">OSGeo</a> projects to make decisions and tackle larger problems. For this meeting, we welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS project and the interfaces to <a href="/wiki/QGIS_GRASS_Cookbook" title="QGIS GRASS Cookbook">QGIS</a>, <a href="/wiki/GDAL" title="GDAL">RTENOTITLE</a>, <a href="/wiki/PostGIS" title="PostGIS">RTENOTITLE</a>, <a href="/wiki/R_statistics" title="R statistics">RTENOTITLE</a>, <a href="/wiki/GRASS_and_Sextante" title="GRASS and Sextante">Sextante, gvSIG</a>, OGC Services (esp. <a href="/wiki/WPS" title="WPS">RTENOTITLE</a>) and more. This includes developers, documenters, bug reporters, translators and others.

For this meeting, we welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS and related projects. This includes developers, document writers, wish and bug reporters, translators etc.

Sponsors

We welcome financial contributions to support the meeting and we are looking for sponsors to cover costs such as meals or to help reducing travelling and accommodation expenses for GRASS developers with far arrival If you are interested to sponsor the GRASS Community Sprint, please read about


sponsoring the GRASS project at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://grass.osgeo.org/donation.php">http://grass.osgeo.org/donation.php</a> </dd> </dd> </dd>


and, if needed, contact <a href="/wiki/User:Neteler" title="User:Neteler">Markus Neteler</a> <neteler at osgeo.org>. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to the GRASS GIS project.

The first 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 in Prague. 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. Please see below for the more detailed agenda. 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.

Weather and Common Item Prices

  • In May the weather in Prague is usually quite warm (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.prague-spot.com/climate">15 or more degrees by day</a>)
  • A espresso coffee is about 20 CZK (80 cents), a beer (half of liter) in a common pub is around 25 CZK (1 euro), can be more in special pubs. In Prague you can have a full meal (see <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_cuisine">Czech cuisine</a>) for still 75 - 150 CZK (3 - 6 euros), but beware of tourist restaurants, the price can easily rise. It's quite easy to find in Prague also Italian or Chinese restaurants.

Note: The program is generally open for your ideas. Please write an email to the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev">GRASS developer list</a> to discuss your contribution.
