Marketing campaign
To better advertise the capabilities of GRASS GIS and its friendly community, we plan a marketing campaign. Some ideas are
- (ideally) monthly blog post on the main site, with social media advertisements
- ask students of our courses to fix bugs, add examples to manuals or write small tutorials as assignements that we could then show off with
- pick some works of the students and create webinars or live streams
- ... add more
Ideas
- "feature of the month" with screenshots (use manual pages and Wiki material)
- advertise the mailing lists: purpose and where to subscribe
- newcomer level technical articles about
- new forthcoming startup in GRASS GIS 8
- data import/registration
- from zero to hero
- the new startup GUI
- ...
- power user level technical articles about
- writing examples for manual pages
- translating messages in Transifex
- ...
- dev level technical articles about
- compiling the software
- work done on removing compiler warnings
- Python linting and formatting efforts
- C linting and formatting efforts
- ...
- edu related articles about
- tutorials
- curriculum (goal: enable academics to easier teach GRASS GIS)
- ...
- present new add-ons and examples of workflows using them
- Nice tweet about ongoing code development: https://gitmemory.com/OSGeo/grass
- Twitter: identify more hashtags to widen up the potential followers
- ...
Twitter posts
- See old posts here: https://twitter.com/GRASSGIS
Ideas for upcoming or recurrent posts
- PSC meeting minutes
- translations in Transifex (what about https://weblate.osgeo.org/ ?)
- promote/recall folks about mailing lists
- promote discussions in github
- OpenCollective: Our new money sponsoring pool is now at https://opencollective.com/grass
- important: connect a goal with it
- r.in.usgs enhancements
Do you use USGS data regularly?? Keep an eye on the user-convenience and caching improvements coming to r.in.usgs, an addon for downloading and importing USGS data such as NED (elevation) and NAIP (imagery) into #GRASSGIS

- General list of GRASS courses/materials by NCSU:
Have a look at the impressive list of #GRASSGIS courses @NCSUgeospatial: https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/courses.html All materials are online and open. Enjoy!!
- Invite folks to test release branch 8 and complete the wiki
We have grass 8 branch! Have you tested it? Which feature you like most? Help us fill in the new features page: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass8/NewFeatures80
We happily welcome text snippets and screenshots to highlight the new and exciting changes that will come with GRASS 8 as well as bug fixing, improvements, new modules, library changes, etc.
- GRASS + UAV + SDM for Rare Plant Monitoring
A GRASS GIS hourly solar insolation model was calculated using a 1 m resolution LiDAR derived DEM to find the time window with the least shadow along the cliff face in order to flight the UAV over it. Cool approach ah?
