[http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo Live] provides [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD bootable ISO-Images] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine Virtual Machines] which allow users to try out fully-operational versions of popular Free Geospatial Software without the need to install a thing. Everything is set up for you ready to go: just reboot into it, glance at the help pages on the desktop, and go. The existing hard drive and operating system will not be modified in any way, everything happens in temporary system memory. As such it will run a bit slower than the "real thing" and you may want to grab a USB flash drive to save or transfer files with. You can load and  boot a live-image completely from a USB stick too if you prefer.

We do this in large part by maintaining automated build scripts which collect many [[OSGeo]] programs and sample data-sets together, and then combine them to form the Live disc or VM itself. By tweaking these scripts users are free to make their own custom distributions, for example localized in their own language and with local map data.

= Use Cases =
 
−
 
 
−
There are multiple use cases for this product:
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Demo DVD''' that can be handed out at conferences.<br />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'''<br />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 [[Category:Education|Education initiative]].
 
−
* '''Workstation Install DVD'''<br />  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?
