Thanks for the clarification Micha,
To date we only have one version of each application installed on
OSGeo-Live, and I don't think we should break that policy. (We aim to
ensure a clear and simple experience for new users).
So I think we should only have one version of GRASS installed. Maybe
QGIS could be fixed to work with GRASS 7.0 within the next month?
Or alternatively, a install_grass7.sh script could be included on the
disk, and workshop instructions would start with "first run the
install_grass7.sh script ..."

Hi Vaclav,
Great to hear that you are considering OSGeo-Live.
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.

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.

Hello FOSS4G Workshop presenters and organisors,
Our OSGeoLive team have started our build process for
OSGeoLive 8.0, due to be released at FOSS4G 2014.
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. 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.
