Three weeks to Geospatial Live DVD 3.0 feature freeze
14 January 2009
It is now decision time for determining what software will be stored on the Arramagong GIS Live DVD release 3.0. We have a feature freeze in 3 weeks which will allow us to have the live DVD ready for a number of large geospatial conferences in April. (If we have enough volunteers, we will be able to have the release ready for the large German Speaking conference in March as well).
We have successfully built our first 3.0-alpha1 release of Arramagong based on XUbuntu 9.10, with a few glitches in some packages. We hope projects will help us fix these over the next few weeks.
