== Purpose ==

This next edition of the GRASS GIS community sprint 2017 is a great occasion for folks to support the development by actively contributing to the source code, manuals or likewise. The '''community''' sprint is a get-together for GRASS project members and supporters and related [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo] projects to make decisions and tackle larger problems. For this meeting, we welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS project and the interfaces to [[QGIS GRASS Cookbook|QGIS]], [[GDAL]], [[PostGIS]], [[R statistics]], [[GRASS and Sextante|Sextante, gvSIG]], OGC Services (esp. [[WPS]]) and more. This includes developers, documenters, bug reporters, translators and others.

For this meeting, we welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS and related projects. This includes developers, document writers, wish and bug reporters, translators etc.

== Sponsors ==

We welcome '''financial contributions''' to support the meeting and we are looking for '''sponsors''' to cover costs such as meals or to help reducing travelling and accommodation expenses for GRASS developers with far arrival. If you are interested to sponsor the GRASS Community Sprint, please read about

:::'''sponsoring the GRASS project at [http://grass.osgeo.org/donations/ http://grass.osgeo.org/donations/]'''

For questions, please contact [[User:Lucadelu|Luca Delucchi]] <tt><lucadeluge at gmail.com></tt>. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to the GRASS GIS project.

The third 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. 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.

== FAQ ==

* '''How was it last time?'''
** Very cool, see [[GRASS Community Sprint Bonn 2016]]!

* '''Is the GRASS Community Sprint just a coding event?'''
** 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, however, we can do some presentations of current working GRASS implementations and new upcoming features to spread the idea of Open Source GIS software.

* '''Is the GRASS Community Sprint for developers only?'''
** ''Not at all!'' 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?'''
