[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.

−
* For the [http://2009.foss4g.org/ 2009 FOSS4G conference] a snapshot of Free Geospatial software has been collected onto the [http://arramagong.com Arramagong Live DVD and VM].
 
−
: ''The Arramagong Live DVD & VM contains a collection of the best Geospatial Open Source, pre-configured with sample data. The DVD and Virtual Machine are available for download at http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html . Refer to [[Live GIS Disc Quick Start]] to get started.''

== Including OSGeo-Live at your event ==
 
−
 
 
−
This is the process to follow if you wish to make use of OSGeo-Live at your conference, workshop or similar event:
 
−
; Tell Us
 
−
: Add your event to our [[Live GIS History]] page and tell us how you would like to use OSGeo-Live on our [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo email list] (or email [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Cameron_Shorter Cameron Shorter] directly). Hearing how OSGeo-Live is used motivates us to keep going, and we plan releases around upcoming events.
 
−
; Presentation
 
−
: Conference attendees appreciate the [https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/promo/trunk/en/presentation/ OSGeo-Live Lightning Overview], which explains the breadth of OSGeo software. It is often presented by one of the conference organisors, or keynote speakers. You may wish to find a suitable speaker from the [[OSGeo_Advocate]] list. The presentation may be given as is, or modified to align with time constraints, presenter's interest, or conference focus. Prior variants are listed [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Presentation here].
 
−
; Handing out DVDs or USBs
 
−
: OSGeo-Live DVDs and/or USBs are often handed out to all conference delegates, or a smaller number handed out from an OSGeo booth. DVDs are cheaper (around $2 per copy), but USBs provide a better experience as they are faster to boot up and run. You will need to:
 
−
:# Work out how to pay for the USBs/DVDs. Usually the price is factored into event budgets. This means you will require commitment from the event Organisors. However you may find an external sponsor, or for smaller print runs, you might find volunteers to print from their computers.
 
−
:# Source a local printer, preferably local. Printers typically require 2 weeks to do the print run, although they often will turn around faster if you pay more money.
 
−
:# Printing DVDs: The printer will require an [http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html ISO image], and artwork for the DVD face and DVD sleeve. You may make use of existing [https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/artwork/sleeve/ artwork] or create your own.
 
−
:# Printing USBs: A 4 Gig USB is required for [http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html osgeo-live-mini] (8 Gig if you wish the full image with windows and mac installers). The process for installing USBs is described [http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/usb_quickstart.html here]. Note that it is important to ask the printer if they can create '''bootable''' USBs. (We have found that many printers are not familiar with the process). It is prudent to [http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/osgeolive_quickstart.html check] the first USB that is printed before printing the rest. You can also print a logo on the USB.
 
−
; Workshops
 
−
: For workshops, we recommend using OSGeo-Live from a [http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html Virtual Machine] or from a USB. Note that some computers can't boot from a USB. OSGeo-Live on a DVD is slow and as such is not recommended for workshops. However it is wise to have a few spare DVDs in case one of your computers can't boot from the USB. Note that OSGeo-Live we have heard some issues when running on Apple Macs, so if using Macs, please test first.

Our issue tracker is [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?group=status&component=LiveDVD&order=priority hosted at OSGeo's Trac system], and you will need to create an [http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid OSGeo UserId] before you can login and edit issues. To distinguish the LiveDVD project from other OSGeo projects, use the following conventions:
 
−
; Component field
 
−
: Set to `<tt>LiveDVD</tt>`
 
−
; Keywords:
 
−
: Version: Set to base release version: eg: 5.0, 5.5 (not 5.5rc1)

−
; Commit access
 
−
:To get commit access, you need to create yourself an [http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid osgeo user id], then join our [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo email list] and ask to be given access to subversion. In this email, you will also need to confirm that you will comply with our license guidelines. Write something like:
 
−
 
 
−
:''"Hi all, I'd like to contribute XXX to OSGeo-Live. Could I please get access to subversion. My osgeo-user id is: YYYY.''
 
−
 
 
−
: ''I confirm that my contributions to OSGeo-Live will be compatible with the OSGeo-Live license guidelines at the time of contribution."''

= 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?
