Further discussions/decisions:

• GRASS GIS - 30th birthday upcoming! MN is in contact with Jim Westervelt to identify the "precise" date. So we want to celebrate that all over the globe :) And on other planets, too, since we support extraterrestrial coordinate systems.
  • Prepare new promo material. Best would be to get designer(s) for it.
  • Better populate the ​GRASS GIS videos on YouTube - make it a channel?
  • https://grass.osgeo.org/news/27/15/30-years-of-GRASS-GIS-development/
• Revisit the license of the Web pages and manual pages. It may be appropriate to change to a Creative Commons license which are widely accepted now.
• Moritz Lennert suggests: have some reflection on release strategy and notably GRASS 7 release. Maybe we could at least envisage some form of technology preview release that would allow us to where we stand.
