Hi, we're finalizing the next version of the OSGeo live sampler DVD, USB stick, and Virtual Machine release. It's a live boot system with all the latest goodies, including GRASS 6.4.2 and almost all of the OSGeo family of desktop and server apps. ( http://live.osgeo.org )
It would be really helpful if others with fresh eyes could have a look over the grass pages and double check that they're all still relevant for v6.4.2, no dumb mistakes, you like what you see, etc. http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/overview/grass_overview.html http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/quickstart/grass_quickstart.html The finalized English version will go out for translation at the end of this week. (conspicuously there are no Italian translations yet even though there is a strong Italian FOSS4G presence, hint hint :) There's a copy of the quickstart in the GRASS wiki. Note that when I wrote it there was a GRASS workshop at the targeted FOSS4G conference which was going to focus on vector processing, so I didn't bother to put much of that in the quickstart. Contributions demonstrating some fancy vector usage that makes GRASS special, or a common vector task to show how GRASS does it easily, would be appreciated. Just note that the quickstarts are intended to be quick- i.e. 5-10 minutes worth, so we've got to keep it concise. In addition, on the disc the QGIS-GRASS bridge is broken because of this bug: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/2947 https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/868 (QGIS doesn't take into account GRASS's mapset ownership rules, so the plugin fails in a multi-user environment) thanks for any assistance, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
