[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#588812: lists.debian.org: Please create Debian GIS mailing list

[Andreas Tille]

Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hi listmasters,

after some discussion on the pkg-grass mailing lists[1] which are currently
used to do general discussions and not only issues about packaging GRASS
we came up with the conclusion that it is better to have a dedicated
mailing list for Debian GIS.  The fact that metapackages of a Debian GIS
Blend were just accepted by ftpmaster lets us think there now is a good
moment to do so.

Here is some description of the scope:

  The goal of the Debian GIS project is improving Debian to make it the
  best distribution for professional Geographical Information Systems,
  support of GPS devices and providing various OpenStreetMap tools to make
  Debian the distribution of choice for mappers.

  Home: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining lists.debian.org

      Andreas.
