'''DebianGis''' is about improving [http://www.debian.org Debian] to make it the best distribution for '''Geographical Information Systems''' applications and users. A good deal of GIS related softwares and libraries (e.g. GRASS, see http://grass.itc.it) are already present in Debian. Thanks to efforts of the DebianGis team, we have currently an up-to-date GRASS package in main and many other packages. Other programs are along their way to be included in the archive. = What is Debian GIS ? =
