GRASS Project Steering Committee (PSC)
The Project Steering Committee plays a pivotal role in the governance and operational direction of GRASS GIS. The PSC meets regularly to discuss organizational and financial aspects of the GRASS project and maintains the #PSC meeting agenda and minutes. The PSC is responsible for granting write access to new core developers and approving RFCs (Request For Comments). The PSC has its own public mailing list where #Motions are passed.
