Arramagong includes a stack of popular GeoSpatial Open Source Applications including:
- deegree

- GeoNetwork
- GeoServer
- GpsDrive
- GRASS
- gvSIG

Arramagong is based on XUbuntu and GISVM, and allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is currently available as:
- A Live DVD, which is regularly handed out at conferences, most recently being given to all delegates at the 2009 FOSS4G conference.
- A Virtual Machine
- Within a web browser from Click2Try: http://www.click2try.com/catalog/Web-Development/Geospatial/Arramagong-GISVM/details
Milestones
- 24 Jan 2010: Version 3.0 Feature Freeze
- 07 Mar 2010: Version 3.0 Final Release
- 05 Jul 2010: Version 4.0 Feature Freeze
- 16 Aug 2010: Version 4.0 Final Release (ready for FOSS4G 2010)

- Incorporate help, tutorials, and training material
- Apply internationalisation
