[OSGeo-Discuss] ancient Roman maps

2015-02-22 Thread Miles Fidelman

Figured folks here might enjoy this

Just came back from a vacation in Italy.  Turns out that the Vatican 
Museum has this incredible collection of (paintings of) maps - mostly 
using data collected by Roman soldiers - and they turn out to be 
relatively accurate.  Some photos at

 Press release

 The GRASS GIS Development team has announced the release of the new
 major version GRASS GIS 7.0.0. This version provides many new
 functionalities including spatio-temporal database support, image
 segmentation, estimation of evapotranspiration and emissivity from
 satellite imagery, automatic line vertex densification during
 reprojection, more LIDAR support and a strongly improved graphical
 user interface experience. GRASS GIS 7.0.0 also offers significantly
 improved performance for many raster and vector modules: Many
 processes that would take hours now take less than a minute, even on
 my small laptop! explains Markus Neteler, the coordinator of the
 development team composed of academics and GIS professionals from
 around the world. The software is available for Linux, MS-Windows, Mac
 OSX and other operating systems.

 visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of
 geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery.
 It also provides the capability to produce sophisticated presentation
 graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS GIS has been translated into about

Big thanks to all the developers for this amazing achievement.

I am sure that like me, many in the user community will be all smiles.
Release of 7.0.0 is a wonderful way to celebrate 32  years (on 29 July 
2013 [1])

of GRASS GIS.
