The GRASS GIS community is delighted to present the outcome of the *4th Community
Sprint* that took place in a warm and sunny *Prague, Czech Republic, from July 12 to
July 18, 2013*. The event happened after the Geoinformatics conference
<http://geoinformatics.fsv.cvut.cz/gwiki/Geoinformatics_FCE_CTU_2013> at the Czech
Technical University in Prague. The Community Sprint was once more a creative
gathering of both long-term and new developers, as well as users.

This meeting was held in the light of *30 YEARS OF GRASS GIS*
