We are starting to build the 5.0 OSGeo-Live <http://live.osgeo.org> DVD
which will be released at FOSS4G 2011 <http://2011.foss4g.org/> this
September where it will be handed out to all delegates. We would like to
hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to OSGeo-Live, anyone who
would like to use OSGeo-Live in workshops, tutorials or similar, or
anyone who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.
Which project version?
Could each installed project please update our status sheet to note the
expected version to be installed on OSGeo-Live 5.0. Status sheet

Key Priorities for next release
Disk Space
We are reaching DVD size limits, and need to be creative about
saving space
Package Updates
Update and test latest stable software releases
Quickstart Reviews
We have Project Quickstarts, but many haven't gone through
comprehensive review yet.
Translations
We have varying levels of translations, and would like to increase
that.
Testing
With Quality being a key focus area for us, we need lots of help
with testing.
