[Board] OpenSUSE Board Meeting - anti-patterns abound

[Carl Reed]

Happy to share any prior art. There are actually GIS technologies that pre-date GRASS (MOSS, CGIS, work by Raytheon) that are excellent sources of prior art. The issue is finding the actual documentation! I have managed to keep user manuals etc for many early (pre 1980) GIS technologies.

If anyone needs references, just let me know! 

Regards

Carl

FYI:
At time we have the source code back to 1990 (GRASS GIS 3.2):
