* Stored
here:https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/tree/master/doc/images/projects/<project>/
* Filename should be "logo-<project>.png"
* Should have a transparent background (not white)
* Stored in size 125x125 pixels (for use in Project Overview
andQuickStarts?)
* For PNGs run a program likepngcrush
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/pngcrush>oroptipng
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/optipng>to reduce the size of the image
without degrading quality. For example:
optipng -o5 image.png
* Preferably also available as SVG, stored as "logo-<project>.svg"

There is good prior art in this space for Python bots.

13.0] QGIS 3.4 overview and quickstart overhaul
Hi Cameron,
Having a poke around on the Osgeo Live website and when it comes
to virtual machines all I can seem to find is V12.0.
Is there a version 13 pre-release so that people interested in
improving the Quickstarts can use it for capturing screenshots of
QGIS (or any app) in the OS that the Ogeo live will be using?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Belinda and Liam,
It was great to have breakfast with you this morning and
discuss how you might want to get involved in SeasonOfDocs.
As promised, here is an email thread with ideas so far about
updating Quickstarts/Overviews for QGIS which will be a really
good starting point for you both (with your QGIS background).
The How to Get started with OSGeoLive docs is halfway through
transitioning from an old system to new (sorry for the mess):
Old:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive_AddProject#Documentation
New:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/How%20to%20document%20a%20project
If you get stuck, which is highly likely, feel free to ask one
of us CCed.
Good luck, Cameron

Hi all,
Nicolas, what's the deadline for the release?
Our OSGeoLive schedule is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB#gid=0
English versions of Project Overviews and Quickstarts are
to be updated and reviewed by 9 July 2019
I think you hit two items that are not covered even in
our official documentation so tackling these would
benefit to both docs:
- the Overview: we have a list of features at [1] but
it's also not fully updated at the moment [2}
- the Quickstart (something we don't have): but we
neither finished updating our screenshots [3] - some
might already be available to pick in the repo though.
What I want to say, refering to our own undone
changes, is that this is an opportunity to fix two
important features for both projects.
I agree Harrissou, aligning QGIS and OSGeoLive core
documentation would be excellent. It is something I'm
hoping we can trail in our SeasonOfDocs initiative with
QGIS and GeoNetwork, and later introduce to other OSGeo
projects.
And afaics it doesn't require specific advanced
skills, so I'd invite people willing to help in
documentation to give it a try. Could be a good
starting point. The visual changelogs might also help
to find some main features [4].
Yes, these are less complicated tasks and a good starting
point. I've been learning from tech writers that we should
be careful to avoid words like "easy", or "just do ....".
Tasks which developers find easy (like using git or RST)
have a high barrier-to-entry for experienced writers (such
as an ex-English teacher who came to our last FOSS4G
community day).
Our Howto-write-OSGeoLive docs have become harder to
follow as we have been automating our build process. (I'm
hoping we will improve this as part of SeasonOfDocs).
Links from: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive
About OSGeoLive, am I right that there's no html doc
online and if i want to view the docs I have to either
run the dvd/usb/VM or build it myself as explained in
the ReadMe [5]?
You can see docs from our latest release here:
http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html
Regarding the quickstart (/talking about the concept
of quickstart since I haven't seen the OSGeoLive's one
and don't know if it duplicates things we already
have/), I wonder if it's not something we can consider
having next or within QGIS docs. There might be ways
to bridge both resources, actually just display on
QGIS Docs website the quickstart from OSGeoLive-Docs.
Sphinx-gurus? And that would help QGIS documenters be
more concerned (talking about me at least) with
OSGeoLive docs, bridge the projects and there might be
more advantages.
Yes, I really like this idea, and would be interested to
see how we can pursue this.
Regards,
Harrissou

Hi dear QGIS community members,
OSGeoLive has reached alpha2 stage with QGIS 3.4.6
installed. [1]
OSGeoLive 12.0 was with QGIS 2.18 and the current
documentation was written for this version.
At OSGeoLive, we think that the new version of
QGIS is a good opportunity to rework on the QGIS
overview [2] and quickstart [3] and reflects its
new functionnalities. So we are looking for
volunteers to help us improve the docs and take
new screenshots.
You can work directly on the files or interact in
the dedicated ticket [4] or within our mailing
list [5].
Thanks for your help from the OSGeoLive Community.
Yours sincerely,
