I had the following email sent directly to me.<br>
I'm responding publicly to the OSGeo-Live list as I there may be
others with suggestions, but have removed the sender's name.<br>

<div>Is it possible to add more desktop managers? Lubuntu has
just LXDE. With the current project, when I try to use another
manager (GNOME or Cinnamon), lots of programs stop working
(and I really don't understand why).</div>
<div>This is not really a matter of functionality. It's just
that I don't enjoy working in a Windows-like distribution of
Linux. I think GNOME is a environment that aims productivity.</div>

<br>
For OSGeo-Live, we only support one desktop manager, primarily as
reduces the amount of testing required in getting the release out.
Lubuntu is the desktop we use because it is small and we try to keep
the size small enough to fit on a DVD.<br>
<br>
We'd be happy to see another distribution supported as a branch, but
I expect it will be quite a bit of effort. Volunteers are always
welcome.<br>

<div>There's also a recommendation of adding a program called
SPRING (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

I underestimated this software for remote sensing image
processing. My mistake. I never saw a software transform a
scanned map (raster) into vector so fast and so perfectly. And
I will not mention the awesome speed of its supervised
classification. It's astounding. I never witnessed something
alike. Not in free or proprietary software.</div>
<div>Sadly! This software will not be supported anymore. I hope
someone fork it in some moment.</div>

If this project is as good as you suggest, and there is a community
behind the project who wish to do the work to bring the project to
OSGeo-Live, then we would certainly consider it.<br>
The process is described here:<br>
