In this OSGeo-Live 8.0 development cycle we have seen major upgrades:
moving to the light weight Lubuntu distribution, moving to a new Long
Time Support release (LTS), and moving even more applications to make
use of Debian packaging. It should be our best distribution yet. But
this has impacted our schedule, as the Ubuntu LTS has only become stable
within the last week (14.04.1 release), and we need help in order to
deliver OSGeo-Live toFOSS4G-PDX <http://2014.foss4g.org/>with our usual
high level of quality and reliability.
In particular, we need help:
1. Testing to verify everything works in this new system and fixing
bugs. Download alpha1here
<http://osprey.ucdavis.edu/downloads/osgeo/gisvm/gisvm/8.0alpha4/osgeo-live-mini-8.0alpha4-i386.iso>[0].
2. Updating version number in your Project Overview (if changed), and
possibly mention a new feature or two. Dochowtos
<http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Documentation>[4].
3. Re-running the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid, and
screenshots match the implementation.
4. Updating status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to "8.0draft"
in our status sheet. [1]
Due to our tight timelines, we might need to hide applications which we
can't get stablised, tested, or docs updated in time. Please check our
current list of open issues [2][3] to verify that your project is
working as expected.
