Purpose
The purpose of this in-person Developer Summit is to identify challenges in the adoption of GRASS GIS as a geoprocessing engine and to foster the growth of the contributor community by connecting new and experienced developers. Attendees will contribute their unique skills to GRASS GIS, evaluate the progress of the project, and participate in long-term planning for GRASS GIS. The goal of the event is to generate actionable feedback for future improvements and to prepare the ground for expanding the geoprocessing capabilities of GRASS GIS.
Agenda
Each day will consist of a block of scheduled sessions (tentative topics below), a block of self-organized sessions (determined by the participants and organizers), two business meals (lunch and dinner), and time for individual contributions to the project.
- Day 1: Identification of priorities for each group of participants (introductions, group discussions and presentations)
- Day 2: Interfacing with QGIS (gathering of user feedback, testing, discussion with developers, development of action items)
- Day 3: Interfacing with R (gathering of user feedback, testing, discussion with developers, development of action items)
- Day 4: Translations to natural languages and internationalization (procedures, glossaries, code adjustments, translating)
- Day 5: Building community for GRASS GIS geoprocessing engine (missing features, documentation, user groups)
- Day 6: NSF POSE project evaluation and community feedback, Plotting project course for next years
While the main communication language at the event will be English, participants are welcome to use other languages as they see fit. Currently, several native speakers in four languages other than English confirmed their participation.
