Hello devs, As you all know, grass birthday is approaching... July 29th is just around the corner. I'd love to celebrate GRASS' bday with a new release, with a big release ;) Do you think that is doable? How much is missing for GRASS 8 release?
The next important date is FOSS4G 2021 on September 27th - October 2nd, where we have proposed GRASS 8 talks and workshops. If we can't make it for GRASS GIS' birthday, do you think it's feasible to release before FOSS4G, say August for example? I think it's really important to agree on a date so we can all manage our reduced time and focus our efforts towards that aim. What do you say?
