Our policy [1] with OSGeo-Live is to only ship stable versions, rather than the latest alpha release, and we'd be wanting at least a beta release by feature freeze, and prefer a stable release at that time. Will there be a stable 7.0 release of GRASS before FOSS4G?  GRASS 7.0 is certainly stable (even tho' the official stable release is 6.4.3). And there are deb packages for Ubuntu available. THe problem will be that QGIS still refers to GRASS 6.4 in its GRASS plugin, so if we installed GRASS 7.0 there would be 2 versions on the disk taking up a bit of extra disk space. -- Micha There are a few other options open to you. Eg: You could use an OSGeo-Live base, and download/update to the latest version of GRASS as the first step of your workshop.

If workshop presenters are considering making use of OSGeoLive, then please do let us know. Hi, we are definitively considering OSGeoLive but for our spatio-temporal GRASS workshop [1], we need something like "latest GRASS". It has to be GRASS GIS 7, probably 7.0.0-beta3 which is not out yet [2]. Would it be possible to include this beta if it would be released before freeze? Thanks, Vaclav [1] https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/#wshop-content-526 [2] http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2014-May/069110.html 1. It is very motivating for our team to hear where osgeolive is being used. 2. We are keen to understand if there are any requests you have that we should consider for this release. 3. We have a feature freeze scheduled [1] for 30 days time, on 6 July 2014. I'm hoping this will provide projects with sufficient time to incorporate features they would like demonstrated in workshops? If not, please talk with us.
