Building OSGeo Live DVD for FOSS4G 2010

10 June 2010

We have started building this year's OSGeo-Live DVD which will be handed out to every delegate at FOSS4G 2010, as well as many other Geospatial events.

This year, OSGeo-Live will be made even more useful and professional by including:

• consistent Application Overviews
• Application Quick Starts
• A common world dataset

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 - update application version in application spreadsheet, and then update application installer and docs.

Milestones

• 5 July 2010: Feature freeze
• 2 August 2010: Final delivery for User Acceptance Test
