Hi Ed,<br>
Great to see your interest. The process for adding a project to
OSGeoLive is described from the linked pages at:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive</a><br>
<br>
In particular, could you please look at the questions, and see
whether you think the project is ready, and that you, and/or others
are ready to support it on OSGeo-Live now and in to the future.<br>

License is AGPL-3. I'd certainly be willing to merge these into
your build process or do a fork-pull request from a Git repo
(assuming you use Git, of course). <br>
