Re: [OSGeoLive] Maintenance of OSGeo Live Docs

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks for your response Angelos,
I'm wondering what timezones you wish to cover from OSGeo Live's doc team?
I'm in Australia, Nelson is in Africa, I know you Astrid are in Europe. Is
there anyone you wish to loop in from America?
Ankita from The Good Docs Project might want to join. She is in India.

Nelson and I are already planning to have a video meeting (URL
) on Tuesday morning in
Europe/Africa as part of The Good Docs Project.

Would you be able to make this timeslot? I'll send Angelos and Astrid an
invite to the meeting. Others are welcome to come too if interested.

Re: [OSGeoLive] installation of distribution

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi,

You can download the VM version from this link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/osgeo-live/files/14.0/osgeolive-14.0-amd64.vmdk.7z/download

After downloading the VM version you can generate an md5 sum file (eg. 
with md5sum command on Linux) and compare with the md5 file provided.


Best,
Angelos

hai.

for your information, I manage to install the distribution. However, can I
know how to implement the checksum file?

thank you in advance for your feedback.

Hello, I'm Najiha, an engineering student.

I have a question regarding the distribution *installation*. If, I want
to install this distro *to VM in my windows 10*, is it possible if I use
the osgeolive-14.0-amd64.vmdk.7z file?

As I had referred to
https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html, it
says that I can *click on the  “Download virtual machine” button, *however,
there is *no such button *in the https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html.

Hence, I want to run the distro using the file mention in the beginning of
the email.

I hope for a reply/follow back from you, as I believe this distro can
increase my knowledge on my study.

Best regards,
Najiha

Re: [OSGeoLive] Maintenance of OSGeo Live Docs

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Cameron,

Thanks for the introductions.
There is no regular meeting around this time (after the 14.0 release) 
but we could plan a meeting.
Since this is mainly related to documentation, I would like to hear the 
availability of the documentation team before planning this meeting.


Would this Tue 20 July at 17:00 UTC work for everyone?

Best,
Angelos

Hi folks,
As Nelson mentions, I was impressed with Nelson's stated background in tech
writing and environmental science, combined with his interest in getting
involved in open source in a long term way, and suggested that maintaining
the quickstarts and project overviews would be a great place to start.

I see this could be a building upon the prior work that Felicity did with
brining quickstarts up to date
.
A good starting point could be to audit all the existing quickstarts. Run
each of them. Make sure they are still up to date and work. Make sure the
screenshots are still valid.

In a year or so, this could extend to updating our templates to align with
the emerging best practice doc templates which are being developed within
The Good Docs Project.

I can provide Nelson with some mentoring from a tech writing perspective,
but will have limited capacity to help with the OSGeoLive side of things,
such as reaching out to each project asking for latest updates.

I have been mostly inactive within OSGeo-Live for the last couple of years.
I'm interested to hear if this plan would work?
There might be some changes which I'm not aware of?
I assume there is still a periodic team meeting? Could you please share
details with Nelson.

Hello,

My name is Nelson Guya, a technical writer from Nairobi, Kenya. I recently
joined the Good Docs Project to help open source projects improve
the quality of their documentation.

Earlier this week, I had a conversation with Cameron Shorter (cofounder
and coordinator of OSGeoLive and TheGoodDocsProject), who pointed me to
OSGeoLive, and we talked about my involvement with the project.
I am interested in helping out by reviewing and updating OSGeoLive
Quickstarts and project overviews. My educational background (BSc
Environmental Science) and years of writing experience will be useful in
the project in the future.

He, Cameron, has offered to help me get started with managing the OSGeo
Live Docs.

I plan to be actively involved with the docs while using and implementing
Cameron's invaluable insights and guidance - as he has worked with the
project since its inception.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Nelson Guya
