In this OSGeo-Live 8.0 we has seen a major upgrade, including moving to the light weight Lubuntu distribution, moving to a new Long Term Release (LTR), and moving more applications to make use of .deb packaging. It should be our best distribution yet. But this has impacted our schedule, as the Ubuntu LTR has only become stable within the last week, and we need help in order to deliver OSGeo-Live to [http://2014.foss4g.org FOSS4G-PDX] with our usual high level of quality and reliability.

Now that we have a feature freeze for OSGeo-Live 7.9, could all OSGeo-Live projects please ensure their Project Overviews and Quickstarts [0] are up to date. This should be quite painless for most.

In particular, we need help:

# Update the version number in your Project Overview (if changed).
−
# getting screen shots with the new Lubuntu desktop,
+
# Possibly mention a new feature or two.
−
# testing to verify everything works in this new system and fixing bugs
+
# Re-run the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid, and screenshots match the implementation.
−
# updating version number in your Project Overview (if changed), and possibly mention a new feature or two.

# Update status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to "7.9draft" in our status sheet. [1]

# Re-running the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid, and screenshots match the implementation.

# Update status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to "8.0draft" in our status sheet. [1]

Due to our tight timelines, we might need to hide applications which we can't get stablised, tested, or docs updated in time.

Update OSGeo-Live Project Overviews and Quickstarts

26 January 2014

Now that we have a feature freeze for OSGeo-Live 7.9, could all OSGeo-Live projects please ensure their Project Overviews and Quickstarts [0] are up to date. This should be quite painless for most.

  1. Update the version number in your Project Overview (if changed).
  2. Possibly mention a new feature or two.
  3. Re-run the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid, and screenshots match the implementation.
  4. Update status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to "7.9draft" in our status sheet. [1]
