GRASS people, let's meet! Because until the GRASS Community Sprint in March 2018 there's still a looong way to go and there are topics that have been on the agenda for quite some time already... but especially because it is always so nice and fun to meet :D

Purpose and Agenda

Discuss and tackle topics such as:

  • Specs for GRASS GIS 8
  • What's missing for 7.4.0
  • Set up new website (asap) with responsive design
  • Migration to git
  • Include/invite more core devs
  • Review and (possible) integration of GSoC 2017 work
  • have more grass-dev meetings
  • Outreach:
    • possibility of a survey to know who uses GRASS GIS
    • offer more GRASS GIS courses
    • more online material, use Sphinx
    • generate tons of 1min videos
    • Initiatives: a new user a day
    • launch a lime survey to know who uses GRASS GIS
    • more courses like on osgeo-nl
    • convert manual to Sphinx
    • Docker image with tests & benchmarks

Sponsors

If you are interested to sponsor the GRASS Community Sprint, please read about
    sponsoring the GRASS project at http://grass.osgeo.org/donations/
and, if needed, contact Markus Neteler <neteler at osgeo.org>. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to the GRASS GIS project.

The GRASS 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. 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.

Thanks to our sponsors
