<p>Suchith, Geoforall community,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>What I think OSGeo-Live and Geoforall is missing, and would
really benefit from, is having a self motivated individual (or 2)
from the Geoforall community step forward and offer to coordinate
USE of OSGeo-Live.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>OSGeo-Live already has very competent technical people who create
the OSGeo-Live distribution. There are also numerous individuals
pulling together workshops and courses which reference OSGeo-Live.
What is missing is someone to put in the time to rally all the
OSGeo-Live users together. Someone to reach out to workshop teams
and coordinate aggregating workshop material into a common
repository (or similar). One way to start this would be for
someone to start with one workshop and then draw in others.
Alternatively, start by reviewing and improving quickstarts.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It is a non-trivial task, but would be hugely valuable to both
Geoforall and OSGeo-Live if someone was to step up and commit to
it long term.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you are reading this, and think you, or someone you know,
might be up to the task, then do speak up.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>
</p>

Cameron - if you can send a draft mail for this
(highlighting key projects that need this
urgently) and we will get all our lab
coordinators to send this out through thier
university/department networks. Thanks.<br>

<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma;
color:#000000; font-size:10pt">Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the info. This is a good idea to involve
Geo4All labs in the testing aspects. We have a good
network of real multi disciplinary users who are experts
in thier respective fields as well as at different levels
(from professors to students), so an ideal mix to test and
provide feedbacks.<br>
<br>
Good idea to include a brief description of OSGeo to the
OSGeo-Live home page. If you could mention Geo4All and
provide a link it will be great .<br>
<br>
Geo4All community - Please provide your feedbacks, inputs
on this suggestion. May be this is also the time to get
one of the labs volunteer for "Software of the month"
section that we are planning for the Geo4All monthly
newsletter highlighting one of 50+ OSGeolive projects each
month. Any labs willing to volunteer for this, please let
me or Nikos know. It will be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
All ideas welcome.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Suchith<br>

<p>Hi Suchith,</p>
<p>It is great to see such uptake of OSGeo-Live from
the Geo4All community, and you are right, there is
potential for cross advertising between projects.</p>
<p>We discussed this and your request in our
OSGeo-Live weekly meeting today.</p>
<p>One of our weaknesses in the OSGeo-Live team is our
ability to continuously keep the project maintained,
current, and TESTED. Testing is something that the
Geo4All community could help us with, because as
users you are the experts we need feedback from
users to confirm projects work as expected.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To date, OSGeo-Live has added logos to our webpages
for organisations and communities who have
contributed something tangible (and usually
sustained) toward OSGeo-Live development. If the
Geo4All could coordinate something similar, (maybe
in the form of sustained testing resources, or
extensions to documentation), then it would be
appropriate to add a Geo4All logo to OSGeo-Live.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>That said, we do think it would make sense to
include a brief (one or two sentence) description of
OSGeo to the OSGeo-Live home page. This might
include a mention of Geo4All.<br>
</p>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

all,<br>
<br>
Our colleagues at Geo4All (the
official OSGeo's Education
outreach) are actively promoting
OSGeoLiveDVDs to esp. those who
are new to learn and then switch
over to OSGeo. Our focus is
reaching out to new communities
and it will be really helpful if
you can arrange OSGeo Live DVDs to
be handed out at the FOSS4G and
other events . If you can have
Geo4All logo added to the LiveDVDs
it will be very helpful.
<br>
<br>
Could someone help us with adding
the Geo4All logo and url to the
OSGeoLive DVDs. Many thanks.<br>

Best wishes,<br>
