Almost every FOSS4G event now encourages the use of OSGeo Live (or makes it even mandatory).</div><div><br></div><div>Just a few notes based on my experience with OSGeo Live for my own workshop:</div><div><ul><li>Installing a workshop package:<br>It's practically impossible to include every workshop on the ISO, but having to download and install workshop material is always a point of failure and just takes time I would like to use for the workshop. Not sure there is an easy way to do this, maybe a shared workshop directory, that has a link on the Desktop?<br><br></li><li>Very basic "Ubuntu Quickstart"<br>I think for many workshop participants OSGeo Live is the first time they use Ubuntu (Linux). It can be tough to follow a workshop and have to use a completely new OS. Maybe a Desktop background image could provide the most important information (ie. arrows pointing to application menu ...)<br><br></li><li>Reliability and speed of USB sticks<br>It just happens too often, that USB sticks with OSGeo Live don't work as expected for whatever reason. And every event usually orders its own USB sticks from their dealer of choice.</li></ul></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">><br>
