GIS - GRASS Users Conference

Posted by michael on from the should-have-provided-GPS-coordinates-only dept.

Paolo Zatelli writes "The Open Source Free Software GIS - GRASS users conference 2002 will take place in Trento, Italy, 11-13 September 2002. This conference is the result of the joint effort of many GRASS developers and users all over the world to foster closer relations and provide opportunities for greater interactions among the open GIS and GRASS communities. The aim of the conference is twofold: the exchange of experiences between Open Source and Free Software GIS and GRASS users and developers and the possibility for the potential users to access first-hand information and GRASS capability demonstration, especially for users from developing countries."

  1. help these people! by Kraft · · Score: 2

    ... make a new homepage. Yikes! My God they should do something about it.

    Seems they have. There is a no-background-image version.

    I don't want to troll, but even setting (in IE, mind you) the text size to "largest", I can still hardly read the links. For the love of Christ, red text on blue background? Argh!

    Unfortunately, I can't seem to get ATLAS, a required prerequisite up on OSX. Apparently, the code doesn't like G3 processors.

      Try sending a message to the GRASS user's list. They are very helpful.

      GRASSLIST@ baylor.edu

      may have to subscribe before you can post.

      Also see openosx.com for pre-packaged GRASS for OS/X, and the new GRASS book.

  4. Grass used ot be a cool program... by thogard · · Score: 1

    Back in 1987 when I was installing it on expensive hardware, it was the coolest GIS program out there.

    Has it made much progress other than a modern box won't take hours to render an image?
