Translating Open Source Software with Weblate: A GRASS GIS Case Study
Open source software projects thrive on the contributions of the community, not only for the code, but also for making the software accessible to a global audience. One of the critical aspects of this accessibility is the localization or translation of the software’s messages and interfaces. In this context, Weblate (https://weblate.org/) has proven to be […]

GRASS GIS 8.0.0RC2 released
Overview of changes
After more than 3 year of development the first stable release GRASS GIS 8.0.0 is available. Efforts have concentrated on making the user experience even better, providing many new useful additional functionalities to modules and further improving the graphical user interface.
Breaking news: new graphical user interface with entirely rewritten startup sequence!
This re-establishes user experience compatibility with QGIS and other connected software packages.
The GRASS GIS 8.0.0 release provides more than 1,300 fixes and improvements with respect to the release 7.8.6.
With the introduction of the semantic label raster metadata class, the temporal database was modified to version 3. Hence, to be able to read and process GRASS 7.x space-time datasets, users will be prompted to run t.upgrade. If users want to read newly created space-time datasets back in GRASS 7.x, they can run t.downgrade.
Launching the software
The user experience of the graphical user interface has been completely rewritten: no more clumsy selection screens – just enter the menu system directly!
And on command line, GRASS GIS now starts versionless, i.e. as grass.
Download and detailed list of changes

OSGeo at FOSDEM 2021 (Online) – Call for Participation for the geospatial devroom
Call for Participation for FOSDEM 2021 geospatial devroom
Submission Deadline: 26.12.2020
FOSDEM is the largest free and open source developers meeting in Europe, with 8000+ participants. It normally takes place in Brussels (Belgium).
FOSDEM 2021 will be an online event. We will have a geospatial devroom again. The geospatial devroom will be on Saturday, 6 February 2021. In 2021 it will be our opportunity to bring our global community to FOSDEM.
The geospatial devroom is the place to talk about the state of the art of open, geo-related data, free and open source geospatial software and its ecosystem. This includes standards and tools, e.g. spatial databases, online mapping tools, geospatial services, used for collecting, storing, delivering, analysing, and visualizing geodata.
We are looking for you to be part of the geospatial devroom. The geospatial devroom aims to host talks about geospatial topics, GIS, and geodata projects, standards and open data.
Please submit your talk till 26. December 2020.
You find detailed information about the CfP at:
https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/osgeo-at-fosdem-2021-online-call-for-participation/
We hope you will submit a talk or come around at FOSDEM 2021.
See you at FOSDEM 2021
