What's in the OSGeo-Live 11.0 reboot?
30 May 2017
In line with the OSGeo-Live reboot [1] we have identified the following actions:
We will only support a 64 bit distribution, (32 bit will be built but not tested or officially supported).
We will no longer provide:
- Windows installers,
- Write ups for OGC Standards,
- Write ups for libraries without a user interface
Stray projects: We haven't got a point of contact for these projects. If you know something about this project, and can help review docs, then please consider adopting the project. Without a volunteer, we will need to consider retiring them from OSGeo-Live. Work commitment is low, kudos and karma very high :)
- openlayers
- osgearth
- iris
- jupyter
- JOSM (for Open Street Map)
- proj4
- mb-system
- zygrib
Projects recommended to be retired from OSGeo-Live:
- geokettle
- geomajas
- gmt
- javaworldwind
- kosmo
- mapnik
- sahana
- tinyows
- ushahidi
- viking
Remaining projects:
- Most projects have at least minor tweaks required for the docs, some have outright errors.
- Once we have an alpha build ready, we will ask each project to run the application on OSGeo-Live VM, run every step of the quickstart, update if required, and tell us when done.
- Once verified, we will ear mark the project as ready for inclusion in the final OSGeo-Live 11.0
For specific project comments, see the OSGeo-Live status spreadsheet, column T "11.0 Comment", and column U "10.5 Doc Review".
