GMT size is an issue in OSGeo-Live.

gmt depends on gmt-gshhg & gmt-dcw to be truely useful (but are only 
Recommends due to their size), but gmt-dcw is not included due to disk 
space, see:


 https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/136

And the related discussion with upstream:

So I think that OSGeoLive just inherits the official proj in Xenial :

Of course in-situ observation would be better than this deduction game

Correct, OSGeo-Live uses proj 4.9.2 from xenial, there is no backport of 
4.9.3 in the OSGeo-Live PPA unfortunately.


4.9.3 has some interesting bugfixes, but requires a transition 
(rebuilding all reverse dependencies) which is likely why it wasn't 
included in OSGeo-Live.

Re: [Live-demo] OSGeo-Live 11.0 - which PHP version will we use?

Ideally the latest 5.x.

Mapbender3 can now handle PHP 7. So we would be fine with moving to PHP 
7.


PHP MapScript doesn't support PHP 7 yet, that will be included in the 
upcoming MapServer 7.2 release.

Speaking as a member of the GeoMoose PSC and as one of the people who

GeoMoose.


It is missing our early history (2005-2009).  It is confused about our
recent history (probably because of our use of git submodules).  And it 
is

completely unaware of our 3.0 developments (which are happening in new
repos, incidently because we want to move away from git submodules).

As a project we would much rather be putting our time into maintaining
2.9.x and into the current effort to moderize our project for what will
become our 3.0 release than worring about how to get a black box 
(OpenHub)
to properly understand our project's history.  Maybe when things quiet 
down
OpenHub tinkering will make it to the top of the list, but I don't see 
that

being the case anytime soon.


OpenHub is just one metric. Just make sure the project information and 
the repositories it monitors are correct and complete. [0]


Because it's not an open source project the community can easily 
participate in, you shouldn't give too much weight to OpenHub.

Just to add to the mix, and stir the pot somewhat, an idea to consider
on this . . . what about . . .

having some sort of support stack/infrastructure in place for
providing the OSGeo-Live as a bunch of different devices and
(portable) services.  For example,


  *   Generating the Thumb Drives
 *   These should be generated as needed, based on our usage
locally for different events.  When we don’t end up using some of them
at a particular event, we end up re-writing them with the newer
version of OSGeo-Live for the next event.  Not really an economically
sound model.
  *   Setting up something like a Raspberry Pi with OSGeo-Live.
Possibly for resale, certainly as a download for other to install.
  *   Setting up a Cloud (OSGE Certified?!) version of OSGe-Live
  *   As has been mentioned before, an application picker for
installation of software would go a long ways.
 *   There’s a bit of effort required for this one I’ll grant you,
but it would certainly go along was toward promoting OSGeo.
  *   Cloud service(s) version of OSGeo.
  *   Setting up a Docker . . .

Well you get the idea,  if your going to pay for something, may as
well go for broke.  You end up with a one stop shop and possibly a
container of sorts for other projects to add in their own dedicated
versions of the same sort of devices/services.


Are you volunteering to implement any of the above?

These are good suggestions, but without people to do the work it will 
never materialize.


OSGeo-Live is understaffed as it is, see also:

How does one include such an environment variable in Lubuntu's .desktop

Edit the Exec line in the .desktop file like so:

 Exec=env OTB_APPLICATION_PATH=/usr/lib/otb/applications monteverdi

Short term solution is to make this modification in the install_otb.sh 
script in OSGeo-Live, but this should be fixed in the .desktop file that 
gets installed by the OTB build system.

Re: [Live-demo] OSGeo-Live 10.5 schedule updates

So to keep schedule somehow balanced, I think we need to move 10.5
release a bit in order to keep the 6 month cycle. Instead of targeting
for 10th of March, I propose we go for 10th of February this year.

Can you please review and comment on the proposed dates?
Is anyone aware of an important date/conference around February/March
that we should target for?


Note that the OSGeo-Live 10.5 cycle overlaps the key release dates for 
the next Debian stable release:


 [2016-Nov-05] Transition freeze
 [2016-Dec-05] Mandatory 10-day migrations
 [2017-Jan-05] Soft freeze (no new packages, no re-entry, 10-day 
migrations)

 [2017-Feb-05] Full freeze

This may or may not be a good thing.

From the Soft freeze date packages for Debian will likely be uploaded to 
experimental if they are not intended for inclusion in stretch.
