We are starting the build cycle forOSGeo-Live
<http://live.osgeo.org/>8.0 which will be released in September 2014,
ready for theglobal FOSS4G conference in Portland
<http://2014.foss4g.org/>. We would like to hear from anyone wishing to
add new projects, anyone wishing to extend or add extra translations, or
anyone who wants to contribute in code, testing or ideas on how we
should shape the upcoming release.
Also, could all projects please reply to us with which stable version of
their software should be included in this release. Ideally, projects
should provide debian packages for this release.

Moving to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS
OSGeo-Live 8.0 will be built upon the recently releasedLubuntu
<http://lubuntu.net/>14.04 Long Term Support release (it was previously
based upon Xubuntu 12.04 LTS).
1. Lubuntu, which is a LXDE based Ubuntu linux distribution, is light
weight. This means it runs faster, with less memory and disk
requirements which will improve the OSGeo-Live user experiences and
allow us to fit a little more onto a DVD.
2. Moving to the 14.04 LTS release will help bring all applications up
to the latest software, but will likely result in a number of
applications needing to apply updates to address new dependency issues.
About OSGeo-Live

thumb drive or Virtual Machine based onLubuntu <http://lubuntu.org/>,
