- Base Distribution: Xubuntu
- We will start from the Ominiverdi image
- LISAsoft will add Geoserver and hopefully other java packages
Testing
| Who did testing | ISO Image | Results | Machines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cameron Shorter | FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha2.iso | Loaded fine, didn't note any problems with images | |
| Alex Mandel | FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha3_4.iso | Loaded ok, no login problems. QGIS ok, sampledata ok, Mapserver appears to be working but the desktop icon doesn't go to anything useful, actually goes to an error page saying that no query was provided. | VMWare Beta 2 on Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 |
| Brian Hamlin | FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha3_4.iso | PGAdmin/psql, QGis Pg layers, ok.. GeoServer MapPreview of Alaska Layer in OpenLayers shows no results?? | MacBook, VirtualBox 2 on amd64 |
| Nicol Hermann | FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha3_4.iso | Loading OK. Missing raster layer in gvSIG project, unsure what password to use for postgis ODBC connection during gvSIG startup. I found no logout/shoutdown link on the Desktop. Does this happen intentionally? | Lenovo T60, WLAN was not detected |
DVD Burning
Requirements:
- Burn onto a DVD
- Graphics to be printed onto the other side with a suitable logo and contents. A simple one colour print run will be sufficient.
- Target print run of at least 100. If budget permits, 250 would be better. It would be good to give one to all local delegates who want one.
Timeline:
- We need to know when we need to hand over the ISO image so that it can be burned.
- The more time we have, the more testing we can do on the image and the more polished it will be.
- We can hand the image over on Tuesday 23 September, but would prefer if we had till Thursday 2 October.
Potential Printers:
From the 2008 Local Organising Committee:
- Heindrich Du Plessis
- Burnie / Inge, have a list of service providers that is being used for the conference CDs?
Tim Bowden has found someone as well ...
