We are calling for help for the final OSGeo-Live testing

seasoned developers to find any outstanding issues, rather than
having them found in workshops or by new users in the released
version.</p>

<blockquote type="cite">Greetings
all,
<br>
<br>
Today we are releasing the first (and probably last) beta of
OSGeoLive 8.0.
<br>
<br>
In this OSGeo-Live 8.0 development cycle we have seen major
upgrades:
<br>
* We moved to the light weight Lubuntu distribution,
<br>
* We moved to a new Long Time Support release (14.04 LTS)
<br>
* We tried to make use of Debian packaging for even more
applications.
<br>
<br>
It should be our best distribution yet. But this has impacted our
schedule, as the Ubuntu LTS has only become stable within the last
2 weeks (14.04.1 release), and we need help in order to deliver
OSGeo-Live to FOSS4G-PDX [0] with our usual high level of quality
and reliability.
<br>
<br>
In particular, we need help:
<br>
<br>
1. Testing to verify everything works in this new system and
fixing bugs. Download beta1 here: [1][2].
<br>
2. Updating version numbers in your Project Overview (if changed),
and possibly mention a new feature or two [3].
<br>
3. Re-running the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid,
and that screenshots match the implementation.
<br>
4. Updating status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to
"8.0draft" in our status sheet. [4]
<br>
5. Reporting any findings in our Trac instance [5]
<br>
<br>
Due to our tight timelines, we might need to hide applications
which we can't get stablised, tested, or docs updated in time.
Please check our current list of open issues [5] to verify that
your project is working as expected.
<br>
<br>
Major Issues
<br>
<br>
* MapFish: <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1357" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1357</a>
<br>
* Tilemill: <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1348" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1348</a>
<br>
<br>
Schedule
<br>
<br>
* 03 August 2014 Beta 1 released - Start taking screen shots with
new
<br>
background.
<br>
* 08 August 2014 Community Testing Sprint (UAT).
<br>
* 10 August 2014 Translations complete.
<br>
* 11 August 2014 RC1 release.
<br>
* 17 August 2014 OSGeo-Live 8.0 sent to the printers.
