FYI, I've submitted a talk about my current research on the OSGeo-Live community and the distribution of users. It will briefly cover what is OSGeo Live and example use cases. It is not the catalog of everything on the disc, in case someone wants to try and get a time slot for that.
Here's a copy of my abstract... Barriers to FOSS4G Adoption: OSGeo-Live case study OSGeo-Live is a Linux distribution, available in virtual machine, bootable DVD, or bootable USB formats, containing a curated collection of the latest and best Free and Open Source Geospatial (FOSS4G) applications. This talk investigates the correlations between worldwide download distribution, and community participation against indicators of economic, technical knowledge and socio-cultural barriers to geospatial technology and FOSS adoption. Better understanding the barriers of technology transfer are important to the outreach efforts of the FOSS4G community, and understanding the market development potential of FOSS4G around the world. Results of an analysis of the OSGeo-Live community will be shown but the techniques discussed can be applied to any software project. Thanks, Alex PS: I expect my Phd dissertation to be done before Foss4g and will make this chapter available when that time comes. _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
