So making the offer official :) - rasdaman can gladly sponsor the price
difference between 4 and 8 GB for the 500+ sticks needed for FOSS4G.

Another thing that was brought up was the possibility to use 8GB USB drives
for FOSS4G, which would mean that the mini iso could go up to 4.4G to fit on
the DVD and the full iso (with the installers) would fit on the USB drive.
Can this extra cost be covered somehow?
Thoughts?

Hi Peter and thanks for bringing this topic here.
It would be great to have more data space and perhaps we can save some space
if we track which projects use non common data-sets.
From the IRC discussion there was a thought to include a hyperspectral
dataset so that rasdaman, OTB, OSSIM, EOxServer and GRASS to use in common.
Any thoughts on that? Should we play safe with free MODIS dataset or is there
another suggestion? Would it be ok if we limit this to ~50MB size or would we
need more? I know this is not enough for a good remote sensing dataset, but
we are short on disk space currently.
I liked the idea of using some web services for demo purposes in addition to
data included in the disk as long as there is a notice to the user that those
are available only with internet connection.
About projects mentioned:
MapGuide is actually not included in the disk due to that large footprint
(caused by mono dependency).
Marble in large because its dependencies for Qt bring in large parts of the
KDE libraries.
We definitely need to hear more from the projects on this!
Best,
Angelos
Hi listers,
as space is running short on the ISO we need to reconsider sizings. In
today's OSGel Live chat I was tasked to initiate this discussion. Current
disk footprint of each application is available from
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc#gid=13
Top riders currently:
- mapguide: 550mb
- marble: 300 mb (includes disk caching!)
- grass >250mb
One way of saving space is to enlarge it (ie, go to 8 GB) which is unclear
due to some unresolved questions; another one is to deflate unused datasets,
a third one to share data among applications.
Can I ask all those with 3-digit disk hunger to chime into this discussion.
thanks,
Peter
