Hi Ed,
Great to see your interest. The process for adding a project to
OSGeoLive is described from the linked pages at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive
In particular, could you please look at the questions, and see whether
you think the project is ready, and that you, and/or others are ready to
support it on OSGeo-Live now and in to the future.

My wish list for new packages is pretty short: RStudio (desktop and
server), the CRAN 'Spatial' task view and all the Ubuntu dependencies
the task view needs. I have a set of scripts that will layer this onto
OSGeo Live 7.9 at https://gitlab.com/znmeb/osgeo-live-addons. License
is AGPL-3. I'd certainly be willing to merge these into your build
process or do a fork-pull request from a Git repo (assuming you use
Git, of course).

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
OSGeo-Live <http://live.osgeo.org/>is a self-contained bootable
DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based onLubuntu
<http://lubuntu.org/>, that allows you to try a wide variety of
open source geospatial software without installing anything.
