The Arramagong Live DVD & GISVM contains a collection of the best Geospatial Open Source software, pre-configured with sample data. The DVD and Virtual Machine are available for download at http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd.
Key Links
Contact Us
- Mailing List: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo
- The mailing list is archived at Gmane and Nabble
- IRC: irc://freenode.net#foss4g (until we get too busy and need a new channel)
Subversion
- Subversion: For config files and build scripts. You should always update from the server before editing a file, and always check the diff is as you intended before committing.
- Repository: https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd
- On Linux systems: access Subversion using:
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd
The first think you can do to test your svn install is update the users list:
# to edit a file cd gisvm/trunk/ svn update contributors.csv # edit contributors.csv # optionally check to see what has changed. svn diff contributors.csv # check the file back into subversion svn commit contributors.csv
# to add a file cd <dir> # create a file svn add <file> svn propset svn:mime-type <mime.type> <file> svn commit <file>
# to move or rename a file svn move <file> svn commit <file>
On windows, it is even easier, using Tortoise SVN which plugs directly into Windows Explorer.
To get commit access, you need to create yourself a user id, as explained below, then ask cameronDOTshorter.AT.lisasoftDOTcom to add you to the "osgeo" user group.
Downloads
- ISO hosting: See the SAC:ISO Mirroring page.
- Downloads at: http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd
- To get ssh access to the download box, create a user id, as described below, and then ask cameronDOTshorter.AT.lisasoftDOTcom to add you to the "Telescience" group.
Issue Tracker
- Hosted at OSGeo's Trac system.
- Please set the ticket's Component field to `LiveDVD` as we share the tracker with other OSGeo projects.
OSGeo User Id
- Create an OSGeo id: http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid , which is required to edit the wiki, commit to svn and create an issue in the issue tracker.
Passwords
The disk username=user, password=user
Right now https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/passwords.txt is copied to the Desktop when main.sh is run to build the live image. If you want users to have access to an applications user/password please place it there.

Use Cases
There are multiple use cases for this product:
- Demo DVD that can be handed out at conferences.
This will contain a wide variety of applications, preconfigured with some sample data and containing introductory tutorials. It should be able to function completely offline, at least within the scope of the tutorials, and should provide an introduction to many products. This is very much a Live DVD, and as such should be conservative with regards to size (it will be run from RAM). - Education DVD
This seems to be a more involved version than the Demo DVD, including more involved material, including train-the-trainer style material. This is targeted at those who will be teaching others, be it in workshops or university classes/labs. My expectation (mleslie: feel free to correct me) is that this is more likely to be installed on machines and used as a teaching resource, as opposed to a toy to play with, as with the Demo DVD. This will require material developed through the. - Workstation Install DVD
This need was seen in Cape Town, where the bandwidth seems to be a very limiting factor. Using the DVD to install either a complete OS, a set of packages to an existing Linux, or Windows installers completely offline is of great value in the developing world. Would it be of greater value to lose the Edu or demo material and put in complete application documentation?
