Live GIS Disc Press Release 5

=Building OSGeo Live DVD for FOSS4G 2010=

12 June 2010

We have started building this year's OSGeo-Live DVD which will be handed out to every delegate at FOSS4G 2010, as well as many other Geospatial events.

This year, OSGeo-Live will be even sexier, more useful and professional by including:
 * consistent Application Overviews
 * Application Quick Starts
 * A common world dataset
 * An overview of all applications on the LiveDVD in a presentation at FOSS4G 2010

We want to hear from:
 * Established GeoSpatial projects who wish to include their project in OSGeo-Live
 * Workshop leaders or trainers who wish to use OSGeo-Live. We'd like to know how we can help you.
 * Project representatives please:
 * Update application version in application spreadsheet then update your test script to ensure it installs in Xubuntu 10.04.
 * Comment on whether our draft templates for Project Overview and Quick Start fit your projects.

Milestones

 * 25 July 2010: Documentation template ready for use
 * 5 July 2010: Feature freeze
 * 2 August 2010: Final delivery for User Acceptance Test
