Extending impromptu IRC discussion today ... With the increased maturity and stability of OSGeo-Live we are considering reducing the OSGeo-Live release cycle to once a year, releasing just before the global FOSS4G. (Previously we have been releasing twice per year).
With 8 years of continual development and refinement, and hundreds of contributors, OSGeo-Live now boasts an extensive, thoroughly tested baseline of quality software, documentation and translations. While we have considerably improved the automation of the OSGeo-Live build process, with increased content and quality releases are still very volunteer labour intensive. Each release requires a significant amount of manual work to chase down projects, update documentation and translations, test and fix releases. Also because of the depth of material, there is a reduced proportional improvement of each release compared to the previous baseline. Therefore, we are considering reducing OSGeo-Live release cycle to once per year, stretching out our release cycle and allowing the OSGeo-Live community more time to maintain both new updates and our extensive baseline of material. Thoughts? Cameron Shorter
