Where has the LiveDVD been used? Please tell us. A history of wide use provides justification for future developers to include, and improve their application on OSGeo-Live.

Template Questions

  • date of the event, City, Country
  • link to event webside
  • Was OSGeo-Live handed out to attendees? How many were handed out? Were USBs or DVDs handed out? How many were handed out?
  • Was the OSGeo-Live lightening overview presented? To how many people? Was it a plenary event? If not, what percentage of the attendees attended this talk? Did you get any feedback? What did you hear?
  • Was OSGeo-Live used for workshops? What did the workshop cover. Was the USB/DVD or VM used? Were attendees computers used? If so, what operating systems were they running? How long did it take to set up? Were there any issues?
  • Any suggestions on what we can do to improve OSGeo-Live for future?
