Live GIS Disc Press Release 67
Starting build cycle for OSGeo-Live 10.0
10 May 2016
We are starting the build cycle for version 10.0 of the OSGeo-Live DVD/USB/VM which will be released in August 2016, ready for the global FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany.
OSGeo-Live 10.0 will be based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial which is the new LTS. Initial packaging efforts have already started and the Debian packages will soon appear in UbuntuGIS Unstable (currently in Testing). All projects are kindly requested to update their bash installers (or provide Debian packages) for Xenial.
We would like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to OSGeo-Live, anyone wishing to extend or add translations, or anyone who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.
