<p>Do you want your favorite project on the next Geospatial Live DVD?<br>
</p>
<p>It is now decision time for determining what software will be stored
on the upcoming Arramagong GIS Live DVD, release 3.0. We have a feature
freeze in 3 weeks which means the Live DVD will be ready for a number
of large geospatial conferences in April 2010. (If we have enough
volunteers, we will be able to have the release ready for the German
Speaking conference in March as well).
</p>
<p>We have built our first 3.0-alpha1 release of Arramagong based
on XUbuntu 9.10, with a few glitches in some packages. We hope projects
will help us fix these over the next few weeks.

<p>We are now calling on projects to:</p>
By 7 February 2010 (Feature Freeze):

<li> Verify which version of stable software will be installed on
the liveDVD. Priority will be given to software already packaged for
Ubuntu. Tell us, and update the package list: <a
