<p>Hi Sergio,</p>
<p>Further to Angelos' email. <br>
</p>
<p>As I understand it, Kosmo is one of a number of forks of the Jump
codebase? Are there opportunities to combine the projects back
together again, and then benefit from combined communities and
combine marketing?</p>
<p>Maybe handle differences by using a plugin concept (which is the
approach used by QGIS)?</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<br>
Thank you for updating the metrics page and for your
contribution of Kosmo to the OSGeo-Live.<br>
<br>
I went through the links provided in the metrics page and I
landed in Kosmo's home page.<br>
I realized that we have been promoting Kosmo v3.1 through
OSGeo-Live for some releases now, but actually this version was
never released on your page. This is not a good open source
practice, and reflects bad to both projects.<br>
<br>
You mentioned a 3.2 release coming soon, I hope to see that
version officially released so we can consider adding Kosmo back
to OSGeo-Live.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Angelos<br>

Here it's the OpenHub metrics for Kosmo Desktop (sorry for the
delay, i had some problems to get them up to date): <br>

Feel free to check and let me know if it's worth to let Kosmo
Desktop form part of the OSGeo-LiveDVD. <br>

Thanks Sergio for looking into this. <br>

We are open to being convinced that kosmo is still a project
that should be on OSGeo-Live. <br>

Warm regards, Cameron <br>

We haven't increased the Kosmo Desktop number version due
to internal reasons. The next OsGeo-LiveDVD would include
the new 3.2 version. <br>

I'm taking care of this, I'll warn you as soon as the
openhub metrics are all completed so you can check the
activity and could change the opinion about the project. <br>

Hi Sergio, <br>
<br>
We have identified Kosmo as a candidate for retiring
from OSGeo-Live. The reasons for considering this are: <br>
<br>
* There is no version change of Kosmo for a number of
releases. <br>
<br>
* We don't have any OpenHub metrics for Kosmo to check
community activity <br>
<br>
So the question we ask is "Should we recommend new users
adopt Kosmo over equivalent Open Source GIS
alternatives?" <br>
<br>
A good way to demonstrate that is by demonstrating an
active community. <br>
<br>
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this? <br>
<br>
Feel free to CC the OSGeo-Live list with your response
if you like. <br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron <br>

I'll check and prepare the latest one to be added to
the new version of OSGeo-Live. <br>
<br>
The Project Overview and Quickstart will be valid for
the new one, but I'll check and add the newest
functionalities (and some use cases) to both of them.

<br>
we have started our build cycle for OSGeo-Live 11.0,
due to be released at the end of July 2017, in time
for FOSS4G 2017 in August. <br>
<br>
We are interested to know which version of kosmo
should be installed on OSGeo-Live 11.0? <br>
<br>
Version 3.1 was installed on OSGeo-Live 10.5. <br>
<br>
Note that our installer feature freeze is 5. June
2017! <br>
<br>
Please give us feedback and get involved or provide
a different person as contact person, which will
update your project. <br>
<br>
We are asking all OSGeo-Live projects to let us
know: <br>
1. What versions of projects should be on
OSGeo-Live? <br>
2. Are there any new projects which should be on
OSGeo-Live? <br>
3. Are there any projects which should be dropped
from OSGeo-Live? <br>
<br>
Do you think we should drop kosmo from OSGeo-Live? <br>
<br>
As per last announcement [1], with our next
OSGeo-Live release we intend to focus on quality,
and as such will be asking each project: <br>
1. To help install the latest stable version of the
software. <br>
2. To verify Project Overview and Quickstarts are
both up to date and in line with our documentation
standards. <br>
<br>
You can see results of our first pass review in our
status spreadsheet [2], column T "11.0 comment", and
column U "10.0 Doc Review". <br>
