Hello. I need to learn how to use GIS and I have chosen to do it with GRASS. My plan is to learn GIS/GRASS essentials during the next 12 months and start applying it for my research the 12 months after that. I started reading the available documentation and also started playing with the sample data set and am now trying (unsuccessfully) to import data for PR into GRASS. I realize that I would benefit from discussing many GRASS related issues with other users and it would be great if I could find someone to discuss with these issues face to face. There is another person that will be learning GIS/GRASS with me, so we are already a “big” GRASS user wannabes in this campus. Anybody knows of other GRASS users in Puerto Rico we could contact? Thank you in advance. Saludos, Julio. (I apologize if you get this message twice as I first mistakenly posted it on a list intended for general GIS and OsGeo discussion).

Welcome here!

Feel free to ask in this mailing list.

BTW: We have a user map here (voluntary registration):
http://grass.osgeo.org/community/
with some registered users (sometimes the background is white when the JPL WMS
temporarily fails) - perhaps you see some names there. Hope you get an answer
here but only a tiny fraction of the GRASS users is subscribed to the
mailing list.
Cheers
