- 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.
