Participants and Reports

Veronica Andreo

• Add/enhance descriptions of tasks for Google Code-in (GCI) in shared spreadsheet
• Discussions about GRASS GIS GCI tasks with Luca Delucchi
• Create list of core modules and add-ons missing examples and screenshots (by means of: check_examples_screenshots.py)
• Adding new and improved modules to NewFeatures74 page

Markus Neteler

• GRASS GIS 8 discussions: improvements in the raster library:
  • add tile support for better large map support (Sentinel, global data, ...), supporting massive parallel computations
    • tiles could then be even stored on different nodes for speed optimization
    • e.g. develop a new virtual raster mapset "VRT" (special like PERMANENT)
      • reading:
        • or add tile support deeply into raster lib (Rast_get_row()
        • use name scheme? make use of segment library
        • problem: due to row compression always whole row is read even if computation region is smaller
      • writing:
        • more complex

Moritz Lennert

• Added tests to r.object.geometry and fixed a bug noticed through the test ;-)
• Bug triaging
• Started to put the 7.4.0-News page into place
• Some discussions about raster format
• Work on improving r.neighborhoodmatrix
