This GRASS Community Meeting is a great occasion for you to support the development of GRASS. With your contribution you'll enable more developers to meet. Community meetings are important opportunities for developers to discuss, fix bugs, plan the direction for the project and work on new features. The developers and other contributors or their employers are donating their valuable time, so it would be great if 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 meeting will be directly contributed back into the GRASS project to the benefit of everyone who uses it. Note that while we have our general plan, we can't accept any earmarked donations, i.e., we can't make any promises for a specific work to be done, please contact specific developers or support providers for that.

In-kind contributions will be acknowledged here.

Personal time and/or financial contributions will be acknowledged here.

Purpose

GRASS GIS Community Meeting is a great occasion for folks to support the development by actively contributing to the project by various activities including but not limited to source code updates, documentation (manuals, wiki, tutorials), translations, website improvements or likewise. The community meeting is also a get-together where supporters, contributors, power users and developers make decisions and tackle larger problems related to the project, discuss and collaboratively resolve bugs, plan the direction for the project and work on new features. We welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS project and the interfaces to QGIS, GDAL, PostGIS, R, OGC Services and others.

In this meeting, building on momentum from the 40th birthday meeting, we will continue the revisions of the maintenance processes and infrastructure - a process which highly benefits from the current maintainers being in one place (and time zone). Other topics which require highly synchronous collaboration will be included such as Markdown documentation and CMake build transitions. Other contributors are expected to enhance the collection of processing tools and their documentation. A press release gives an overview of last year's event.

We do require participants to work on GRASS GIS or connections to other projects. However, we leave them the freedom to work on what they think is the best contribution to the project at that time given their skills and time available.

For the detailed agenda and individual's plans, see below.
