add tweet ideas for upcoming weeks

Marketing campaign

To better advertise the capabilities of GRASS GIS and its friendly community, we plan a marketing campaign. Some ideas are

  • (ideally) monthly blog post on the main site, with social media advertisements
  • ask students of our courses to fix bugs, add examples to manuals or write small tutorials as assignements that we could then show off with
  • pick some works of the students and create webinars or live streams
  • ... add more

Ideas

  • "feature of the month" with screenshots (use manual pages and Wiki material)
  • advertise the mailing lists: purpose and where to subscribe
  • newcomer level technical articles about
    • new forthcoming startup in GRASS GIS 8
    • data import/registration
    • from zero to hero
    • the new startup GUI
    • ...
  • power user level technical articles about
    • writing examples for manual pages
    • translating messages in Transifex
    • ...
  • dev level technical articles about
    • compiling the software
    • work done on removing compiler warnings
    • Python linting and formatting efforts
    • C linting and formatting efforts
    • ...
  • edu related articles about
    • tutorials
    • curriculum (goal: enable academics to easier teach GRASS GIS)
    • ...
  • present new add-ons and examples of workflows using them
  • Nice tweet about ongoing code development: https://gitmemory.com/OSGeo/grass
  • Twitter: identify more hashtags to widen up the potential followers
  • ...

Twitter posts

Ideas for upcoming or recurrent posts

  • r.in.usgs enhancements

Do you use USGS data regularly?? Keep an eye on the user-convenience and caching improvements coming to r.in.usgs, an addon for downloading and importing USGS data such as NED (elevation) and NAIP (imagery) into #GRASSGIS

  • NCSU course:

Geospatial Computing and Simulations course at @NCSUgeospatial with a lot of GRASS-related content - an open education resource @Geo4All_:

  • General list of GRASS courses/materials by NCSU:

Have a look at the impressive list of #GRASSGIS courses @NCSUgeospatial: https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/courses.html All materials are online and open. Enjoy!!

  • Invite folks to test release branch 8 and complete the wiki

We have grass 8 branch! Have you tested it? Which feature you like most? Help us fill in the new features page: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass8/NewFeatures80

We happily welcome text snippets and screenshots to highlight the new and exciting changes that will come with GRASS 8 as well as bug fixing, improvements, new modules, library changes, etc.

  • GRASS + UAV + SDM for Rare Plant Monitoring

A GRASS GIS hourly solar insolation model was calculated using a 1 m resolution LiDAR derived DEM to find the time window with the least shadow along the cliff face in order to flight the UAV over it. Cool approach ah?
