Friends,
Geographic Information Systems are powerful tools for organising and processing geospatial data. The use of this software is increasing in our country, especially since the availability of satellite imageries makes it a very useful tool in planning. However, most of our institutes use proprietary GIS applications, which are very expensive, in addition to being restrictive. Many people are not even aware of the availability of equally or more powerful Free Software applications like GRASS.
So we formed an email group for Free-GIS related discussions. This email group was formed to promote the awareness and use of such applications, and to help new users to become familiar with them.
Please see http://gnu.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-gis.
We invite you to join the group and contribute to our efforts.
