Sure - would love to connect, but I'm currently in the US for another
3 weeks or so, and have quite intermittent net access until I return
to NZ. Sometime later Nov would be a fair better time to connect.

Gavin,
I'm very excited by the potential of integrating Sahana and the
LiveDVD. This is exactly the sort of domain specific use case which
I see as being the next step for our packaging efforts.
I'd love to talk with you further about this. Can I call you on a
landline or skype or similar?

Hi Bob,
This is exactly the reason I signed up to the list too.
I'm a board member for the Sahana Software Foundation, as our
project Sahana (a free and open source emergency management
information system) is a perfect candidate to be deployed on top of
a geospatial stack. We have had some issues with users deploying
our web app (currently php and mysql) and as we more tightly
integrate things geospatial, we want to be able to provide a
working distro with full geospatial stack as both a livedisc and
VMs. On top of that, we may also go down the path of creating
country or region specific distributions that are bundled with
geospatial data suitable for emergency management. We support
MapServer integration, have also been using GeoRSS to aggregate
spatial data from other sources, are looking at using tilecache for
caching maps tiles, and our main access to geospatial data is via
OpenLayers. But we want to provide a single box installation that
includes not only Sahana but also a full working FOSS mapping stack.
So, we are very interested in getting Sahana working on the
livedisc, and if there is a commitment to maintain it and update
it, I could certainly see us adopting it. In the meantime, we need
first to tweak Sahana to install on Postgres ;)
I'd be interested to see if this is a use case you'd be willing to
support us with, and likewise we may be able to get some of our
(currently few) geospatial folks to help out in return.
Cheers Gavin

Foundation website up)
PS would have loved to attended FOSS4G, but ended up going to the
Crisis Mapping conference in Cleveland instead - a bit
disappointing since I'm based in Christchurch, NZ, such a short
flight away :)

I've watched this progress leading up to the Sydney event from the
sidelines. I have a question about the final intent of the product
though. Is this intended as a learning tool, a production
implementation of a stack or ???
I have many business interests related to this, most recently
emergency
management, but port data stores are also of interest as well as
syncing
of datastores, as in collecting offline and syncing when network
available.
