GRASS Promotion

Here can the GRASS promotion team coordinate its work.

Where can we get some ressources (financial or support) to print the brochures

Todo (add yourself)

As soon as possible

1. Grassbrochure (Latex based for easy translation) [Malte Halbey-Martin]

2. Technical Data sheet (maybe second side of the brochure)

3. Newbie friendly tutorial

• Update Lorzeno Moretti's "Visual Tutorial for GRASS 6"?
• First day documentation

4. Live CD (maintenance to keep uptodate,)

• OSGeo viscom team hopes that they will have a fancy promo CD soon We should wait for that one
• Maybe together with OSGEo Viscom to create a FOSSGIS presentation CD
• FOSS4G2006 Lausanne/Switzerland GRASS Workshop LiveCD 2006
• Others: http://grass.ibiblio.org/download/cdrom.php

5. Find some funding for printing the brochure

• How much is needed?

Depends on the quality & number of flyers we want to order I found one shop where we can get 2500 flyer for about 170 - 270 € (aprox. 225 - 355 US $. depending on paper/colors...)

Later or synchronous

• Newbie Forum (done)
• Contact Databases
• Case Histories of GRASS adoption (?)
• Nice Posters with applications where GRASS hass been adopted
• workaround of http://www.osgeo.org/grass
