Minutes

• ​FOSS4G Birds Of A Feather
  • One scheduled for Thursday evening (18:15-19:15 CEST).
  • Other slots are Thursday morning and Friday morning.
• Number of participants in GRASS workshops at FOSS4G:
  • We asked Luca and he said they'll inform next week. The one about remote sensing is sold out already (30 attendants).
• Stickers:
  • Vero ordered 1000 GRASS logo stickers for FOSS4G and they were already delivered to Luca's house. Reimbursement claim to be done.
• Status of FOSS4G talks and workshops:
  • We shared links to each other's repos
  • For the State of GRASS talk, Vero will merge hers and Vashek's *grass-gis-talks* repo with the latest talks and transfer it to Markus.
• Student grants 2022:
  • We agree to plan them during FOSS4G and start advertising the call.
  • Markus commented on the need to clean, update and enhance Python API documentation and GRASS + Python wiki pages (and all parallel computing pages); this could be a proposed topic for one of the grants. Another related topic could be Python API clean-up.
  • Michael highlighted also the need to enhance the cartographic composer so GRASS can produce publication ready maps similar to QGIS; perhaps this is a topic for GSoC moreover.
• Sponsors and Commercial support pages in the website:
  • Vero (others mostly welcome) will work on that during FOSS4G week
• Move trac wiki development related content to the source code:
  • There was an agreement on this, what exactly to move remains to be decided.
  • Vaclav already edited the home page of the trac wiki.
• Windows installers and errors:
  • We are missing a lot of users given the problems with Windows installers and addons in Windows.
  • Shall we pay someone to help us overcome the current issues?
