Hello Raffaele:<br>
Sorry for being so slow to answer. I was a bit swamped this past
week.<br>
<br>
Here is the text I entered as "Session Details" when I submitted the
application:<br>
---------------------<br>
OSGeo-Live is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or
Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide
variety of open source geospatial software without installing
anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to
be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around.<br>
<br>
We will present, during two sessions, an overview of the Live DVD
system, setup as a virtual machine, and demonstrate of some of the
software available. At the end of the first session, participants
will have a running Live DVD virtual machine on their laptops.
During the second session we will review desktop applications,
spatial databases, web mapping, and specialized tools. Among the
desktop applications we will demonstrate QGIS and GRASS. We will
show implementation of spatial databases and web mapping with
PostGIS and Geoserver, and perhaps the Cesium javascript library for
3D map display. Additional software will hopefully include some new
python tools for geospatial work, R for geo-statistics, MB-system
for sea floor mapping.<br>
---------------------<br>
<br>
The application has been accepted:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/22294">http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/22294</a><br>
<br>
I asked for two sessions of 90 minutes. I think that the best use of
time would be to dedicate the first session to setting up a VM on
participant's laptops. I would do a preliminary overview of the Live
DVD while participants copy the (large) VM file onto their
computers. Then step by step setting up the virtual computer with
VirtualBox.<br>
The second session can then be used to do hands-on demos of selected
applications, with participants following along and performing the
same quick start exercises themselves.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any comments. Shall I add you as
co-convener??<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Micha<br>
