We are starting the build cycle for version 7.9 of the OSGeo-Live
DVD/USB/VM which will be released in March 2013, ready for several
special events, including the OSGeo Code Sprint in Vienna, Spanish
FOSS4G, French FOSS4G, FOSSGIS Germany, among others.<br>
<br>
Our aim for this release is to focus on .deb packaging, which will
make projects simple to install on all debian and ubuntu based
distributions.<br>
<br>
We would like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to
OSGeo-Live, anyone wishing to extend or add translations, or anyone
who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.<br>

preferred, stable version of software to be included in this
release.<br>
