GRASS GIS 6.4.2 released
19 February 2012
http://grass.osgeo.org

We are pleased to announce the release of a new stable version of
GRASS GIS. This release fixes bugs discovered in version 6.4.1 of the
program and adds a number of new features. This release includes over
760 updates to the source code since 6.4.1. As a stable release series,
the 6.4 line will enjoy long-term support and incremental enhancements
while preserving backwards-compatibility with the entire GRASS 6 line.

The new wxPython graphical user interface (wxGUI) has been updated
with many new features and tools. Python is now a fully supported
scripting language, including an updated Python toolkit to simplify
the authoring of personal scripts, support for NumPy based array
calculations, and a Python application interface for the GRASS C
libraries. Additionally, MS-Windows support continues to mature.
GRASS 6.4.2 debuts ten new modules, a new GUI cartographic composer
tool, a new GUI object-oriented modeling environment, and improved
infrastructure for installing community supplied add-on modules.

About GRASS GIS

The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to
as GRASS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) and
geospatial analysis toolkit. For nearly three decades, GRASS has
provided powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing engines in
a single integrated software suite. GRASS includes tools for spatial
modeling of raster and vector data, visualization, the management and
analysis of geospatial information, and the processing of satellite
and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce
sophisticated presentation graphics and publication-quality hardcopy
maps. GRASS has now been translated into twenty languages and supports
an extensive array of data formats. It is distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the
academic and professional worlds in that it is developed and
distributed by users for users, mostly on a volunteer basis. Its code
and spatial processing algorithms are open and transparent, and the
software is distributed free of charge. The source code is also freely
available, allowing for immediate customization, examination of the
underlying algorithms, the addition of new features, and faster
identification and patching of bugs.

안녕하세요? 

Google에서는 매년 Google Summer of Code(GSoC) 행사를 개최합니다. 어제인가 올해 행사 계획이 나왔구요. 

학생들을 대상으로 하는 행사인데요. 참가 학생들에게 일정한 급여(?)를 주고 다양한 오픈 소스 프로젝트를 직접 개발하게 하는 행사입니다. 생각보다 급여가 제법 되더군요. 자세한 내용은 http://code.google.com/intl/ko-KR/soc/ 참조하시면 됩니다. 

이 GSoC가 꽤 괜찮은 게, 항상 학생과 멘토를 연결해서 같이 교류하며 프로젝트를 수행하도록 함으로써, 학생들의 개발 능력 향상과 프로젝트의 높은 완성도를 꾀한다는 것입니다. 

GSoC는 이 멘토 때문에 항상 관련 오픈 소스 조직이 함께 행사를 진행하게 되는데요. OSGeo와 OSM(OpenStreetMap)에서도 매년 이 행사에 멘토로서 조직적으로 참여하고 있습니다. 

작년에 채택된 결과를 보시면 아시겠지만, 작년에 18개 프로젝트가 OSGeo 프로젝트였고, 3개가 OSM 프로젝트였습니다. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2011 참조.

OSGeo 차원의 GSoC 행사 관련 작년도 Wiki는 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011_Ideas 인데요.. 아마 올해도 이와 비슷하게 행사가 진행될 것 같습니다. 

매년 이 행사를 보면서 왜 우리나라에서는 아무도 지원하지 않을까 하는 아쉬움이 들곤 했답니다. 

우리 회원분들 중 관심 있는 학생분이 계시면, 이런 행사에 직접 신청을 해보시구요.. 교수님들은 학생들에게 이러한 행사에 참여하도록 독려해 보시는 것도 좋아 보입니다. 

현재 OSGeo와 OSM에서 올해 GSoC에 대한 논의를 시작하더군요. 

참고하시기 바랍니다. 

감사합니다.

Hello all!

GSoC 2012 has been announced [1,2] and OSGeo is going to apply as
mentoring organisation, like it did successfully in past years. 

What's up now? OSGeo projects that plan to take part in GSoC are
invited to put together an Ideas page on their wiki and add a link to
it on our central Ideas page [3,4], make a "call for mentors" on their
communication channels, and welcome would-be students as contributors.

Would-be students can browse the Ideas pages of previous years and
contact former students and mentors. We also suggest them to that they
introduce themselves and start contributing to the project they have
chosen, in order to get in touch with the project's community and get
familiar with the codebase.

All: take a look at the calendar [5] and spread the word about OSGeo
GSoC in real and virtual places around the world!

all the best,
Anne
OSGeo GSoC administrator
