Dear Astrid et all. <br><br>First of all hello to everyone: I am new to the live-demo list and helped with the translation of the DVD into German language.<br>I would be pleased to support you with the LiveDVD for FossGIS 2012 in March '12, although I am not available February '12.<br>So we can organize ourselves in this list? <br>Best regards,<br>Ruth<br><br>Ruth Schönbuchner<br><b>CSGIS</b><br>Email:ruth.schoenbuchner@csgis.de<br>Web: h<b>ttp://www.csgis.de</b><br><br><div>> Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:47:10 +0000<br>> Subject: Re: [Live-demo] OSGeoLive at Intergeo 2011<br>> From: astrid.emde@wheregroup.com<br>> To: mail@activityworkshop.net<br>> CC: live-demo@lists.osgeo.org<br>> <br>> Hello activityworkshop,<br>> <br>> thanks for your feedback about OSGeo-Live on Intergeo 2011. It was<br>> definitely a shame that we did not manage to print the new version 5.0 for<br>> Intergeo 2011. We were looking for volunteers to organize the printing but<br>> we did not find someone in the end.<br>> <br>> I hope that next year we will provide the DVD on FOSSGIS conference in<br>> Dessau in march 2012 and also on Intergeo 2012. I will try to organize the<br>> print and promote the DVD like I did in 2010 together with Lars.<br>> <br>> Best regards Astrid<br>> <br>> On Fri, November 18, 2011 8:07 pm, activityworkshop wrote:<br>> > I thought I'd give some feedback after a friend of mine picked up a copy<br>> > of OSGeoLive from this year's Intergeo conference in Nuremberg, Germany.<br>> > Sorry this feedback is a bit late.<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > - Firstly, it seems that although the OpenSource camp at the conference<br>> > was popular, the OSGeoLive DVD didn't have a high visibility.
