This GRASS GIS 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. 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.

Dangers & Annoyances
- Dussmann bookshop: A very dangerous place in walking distance from DIW on Friedrichstrasse: Extremely well-stocked multi-level store for books, comics, music (including rare vinyl), and other geek supplies which stays open till midnight with extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Visiting the place WILL result in a massive loss of developer time and POSSIBLY excessive personal overspending on rare books, records or tv-series related t-shirts. You. Have. Been. Warned.
- Augustiner (Bavarian Restaurant): Bavarian restaurant in walking distance on Gendarmenmarkt square. Serves authentic beer from Munich (Augustinerbräu). Possible danger/annoynace: The oversized bbq'd pork knuckles (plus a drink or two) can send developers to sleep early, wasting development time.
- Maximilians bavarian restaurant: Another bavarian-themed restaurant, a bit more on the generic touristy side than Augustiner Bräu, but also closer to DIW, featuring lunch time specials during the working week.

- It is mainly a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in the GRASS project and/or are committed to improving the GRASS project.
- On demand we can do some presentations of current working GRASS implementation and new upcoming features to spread the idea of Open Source GIS software
- Is the GRASS Community Sprint for developers only?
- No: anybody can help, with testing, checking out bugs and fixes, documentation and more.
- Where can I get help and more information about the community sprint?
