Marco,
I'm very excited to hear about what seems to be a very successful use of
your LiveCD efforts.
For FOSS4G2009, we have been discussing whether we should use the
LiveDVD as the basis for workshops. (The other high contender will be
osgeo4win, based on windows, as many workshop attendees will be familiar
with windows)
From the distribution building point of view, I'm keen to collaborate
with what you have been doing.
Could you please join us on this list to continue discussions:

Hi LiveDVD-Builder,
I'm very happy that the concept of live-images also hit
FOSS4G-conference. FOSSGIS e.V. (formerly known as GAV e.V.), who will
(hopefully) be the institutional form of local chapter DACH soon,
startet using live-images about 2 years ago. At the german language
conference "FOSSGIS" in April we used live-images to provide all the
workshop-notebooks using PXE-boot with individual liveimages booting
at the beginning of a workshop. A list of the held workshops (sorry
only in german, but the projectnames are uni anyway) can be found on
this page: http://fossgis.osgeo.net/wiki/Workshops_2008 and show which
applications we already integrated in a liveimage.
Right now our "flagship" is GISlivePE, a LiveDVD providing very recent
developer snapshots of QGIS and GRASS. Our most recent PE-version
(preview edition) produced for the Intergeo 2008
(http://www.intergeo.de/2008_en/englisch/index.php) got the developer
snapshots from 09/24/2008. (For download see
http://www.gav-ev.de/gislive/download/).
We are already thinking about a VE (variety edition) to provide the
big variety of FOSS GIS-Software and Data including most (if possible
all) of the OSGeo projects and may be some more (josm, openJUMP,
Geoserver, ...) on a more stable basis - we are using Debians
live-helper system.
I think providing (may be including localisations and editions)
livesystems under the roof of OSGeo could have a very good PR-effect.

Greetings,
We at LISAsoft are in the process of setting up a Live CD. While the
ultimate goal is a 'comprehensive' version by FOSS4G2009, we're starting
with a fairly short java-centric stack of software in order to get the
details worked out and get something out the door soon. Our goal is to
have a cut available next week, with something polished by the 22nd,
hopefully leaving enough time before Capetown for anyone interested to
get some copies burned.
So I suppose my first question is, is anybody interested in having a
copy of this CD? Is there somewhere appropriate we could upload an
image?
