Hmmm, thanks for that link Cameron, but that's not what I'm remembering!
:-)
I specifically remember it being related to the Quebec FOSS4G-NA...
Can anyone else help me with this?
Alternatively, should we start a wiki page on OSGEO.org that specifies
the capabilities that desktop GIS have/should have?
BTW, We are planning on burning some liveDVDs to hand out at our
conference...
Thanks,
Percy

Percy, Maybe you are remembering the email discussion titled:
[OSGeo-Discuss] Will there be an OSGeo Desktop shootout at FOSS4G 2010?
<http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2009-December/006494.html>
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2009-December/thread.html
As a contribution to this thread, the LiveDVD project can contribute to
this shootout, in that we have many of the desktops already packaged,
along with 1 page descriptions of each project. And I'd love to include
documentation or tables into the liveDVD which help users select between
different applications.
