Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G LiveCD
Cameron, would be a great start. from our part we need to know if Luca (doktoreas) is available, he's the "liveCd Man". btw, Bruce, encouraging comments, thank you if Luca has time it would be great to keep you two in touch and fix the problem. this is what we were looking for ciao Lorenzo Cameron Shorter wrote: I have a meeting clash, I suggest the following time instead: Friday 4pm Sydney, 8am Europe http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2008&month=9&day=12&hour=6&min=0&sec=0&p1=240&p2=215 Cameron Shorter wrote: I'm very excited to hear Markus and Lorenzo correct me and tell me that GeoFOSS packaging is live and well.

We have been planning to create a simple live CD (based upon Debian or Ubuntu) for the Java stack - something that we think we could achieve.

From our digging around, it seems that prior LiveCD efforts are not being maintained any more. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). I take liberty to correct you: http://grass.osgeo.org/download/cdrom.php at least also - slaxGIS - ArcheOS and the aforementioned Ominiverdi CDROM are up to date. We are focusing initially on packaging the java stack as we felt this could benefit the most from a little attention, While this is fine, the title of your LiveCD should reflect this to minimize confusion. "FOSS4G LiveCD" sounds like "all included incl C/C++ stack" to me.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G LiveCD
Hi all, Camptocamp recently made a liveCD too, with MapGuide OS inside, which is based on Ubuntu Hardy. See for instance Gwenael's post about making it available to all via the OSGeo website [1] I think we would be ready to give a helping hand to the community effort of gathering interesting pieces of software together on a liveCD/DVD. Whether we could make it for Foss4G 2008 is another question ;-) I'll try to be on IRC to talk about that ... very soon now ! Cheers, F.
