DESCRIPTION:This talk will give a comprehensive overview of the latest deve
 lopments and progress of the GRASS GIS project for users and developers. T
 he talk will cover topics relevant for integrating GRASS GIS engine into e
 xisting workflows. We will dispel some common misconceptions about the pro
 ject\, such as "it's just a command line"\, "it's just a desktop GIS"\, 
 “it's a QGIS plugin” and "it's been around for a long time\, so it mus
 t be well funded".\n\nMany potential users perceive GRASS GIS as difficult
  to use. During the talk\, we'll cover different improvements to the graph
 ical interface that are aimed at addressing this problem. The switch to a 
 mature single-window layout\, an easier startup\, streamlined data managem
 ent and the upcoming command history pane are all improvements attempting 
 to increase user-friendliness and make it easier for newcomers to adopt GR
 ASS GIS. \n\nThe talk will also go through a series of improvements releva
 nt for industry and academic users to facilitate the integration of GRASS 
 data processing and analytic tools in their workflows using Python or R\, 
 either on the command line or in the cloud. Examples of these improvements
  are the parallelisation of many modules with OpenMP enabling accelerated 
 processing of large data sets and the stricter compiler configurations ens
 uring code quality in C\, C++ and Python.\n\nFinally\, the latest communit
 y activities and funding opportunities will be presented.
