Hi Firman,

Glad to know about FOSS4G activity at ITB.
Maybe you happen to know Soni Darmawan too.
He did som GRASS modules for our JICA training
and was using Ubuntu Virtualbox. Think Soni
is from ITB too.

Happy to see all the recent activity on
packaging OSGeo software stack.

Hello Frans,

We have already make a remastered Ubuntu Live CD, DVD and ISO file
that includes geospatial softwares like GRASS, PostGIS, QGis,
Mapserver etc. for learning Remote Sensing and GIS Dept. Geodesy and
Geomatics, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. Just put the DVD on
the computer, restart and you can learn FOSS GIS instantly. The ISO
file can also be used with VirtualBox, if we don't want to install it
in another partition. But still, the student seems to need a little
bit of time to use it. It is different with proprietary softwares
they've been using. The biggest problem in education is only a few
people (teachers, professors, etc.) that encourage the use of free
and open source software in education.
