Hi all,<br>
Confirming Richardo's comments, Richardo was a huge driving force
behind the success of our first major release of OSGeo-Live at
FOSS4G 2009, providing lots of valuable advice on packaging and
developing on virtual machines. We were privileged to have Richard
as part of our team.<br>
<br>
I'm still unclear on how a GISVM should distinguish itself from
OSGeo-Live, (as OSGeo-Live also provides a Virtual Machine), and I
have answered some of Richardo's questions to me on this in a
separate thread.<br>

<div>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
After several people asking about the differences between
GISVM and OSGeo Live projects, I must clarify some points,
specially to the members of this list.<br>
<br>
As some of you probably know, GISVM concept was used, with my
direct participation, on the building process of FOSS4G 2009
LiveDVD (Arramagong). Since then, that concept is used for
building the OSGeo Live, that resulted on the LiveDVD for
FOSS4G 2010 and is growing fast with excellent results.<br>
<br>
GISVM was launched in 2008, an independent project, not
sponsored by OSGeo, and is dedicated exclusive for providing
"Virtual Machines" for Open Source GIS users.<br>
<br>
These different goals results on completely different
products!<br>
<br>
But, these two projects have much in common, and can help each
other. <br>
<br>
Just like GISVM helped OSGeo to build it's LiveDVD. <br>
GISVM can receive help from OSGeo Live by being able to use
their huge number of install scripts.<br>
<br>
And I can see several other ways of collaboration.<br>
<br>
For start, I would suggest to all "install script" developers
to use "GISVM Base" for creating and testing their scrips.<br>
If it works on GISVM Base it will probably work on OSGeo Live.<br>
<br>
To include your applications on GISVM Base, it is as simple as
adapting your current OSGeo Live install script.<br>
<br>
GISVM is a GPL Free project and is hosted by sourgeforge: <br>

If you want to participate on it, just contact me. <br>
Your contribution will be much appreciated!<br>

Cheers,<br>
