Live GIS Disc Press Release 76

=What applications and versions should be included on OSGeo-Live 11.0?=

9 May 2017

We are asking all OSGeo-Live projects to let us know:
 * 1) What versions of projects should be on OSGeo-Live?
 * 2) Are there any new projects which should be on OSGeo-Live?
 * 3) Are there any projects which should be dropped from OSGeo-Live?

As per last announcement [1], with our next OSGeo-LIve release we intend to focus on quality, and as such will be asking each project:
 * 1) To help install the latest stable version of the software.
 * 2) To verify Project Overview and Quickstarts are both up to date and in line with our documentation standards.

You can see results of our first pass review in our status spreadsheet [2], column T "11.0 comment", and column U "10.0 Doc Review".
