Hi Patrick,<br>
I haven't tried your 24dev-demo yet. Sorry.<br>
My current suspicion is that 24dev-demo would need to mature if it
were to attract a community and become a sustained project.<br>
OSGeo-Live focuses on promoting established projects, and I don't
think 24dev-demo is there yet. To see what we promote, see:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Apply">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Apply</a><br>
and<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html</a><br>
<br>
Building a mature project and establishing a brand represents a lot
of effort. I suspect a more successful path for you - if you wish to
follow it, would involve incorporating your efforts into the
existing OSGeo-Live build process. An "addon" to the existing build
process, as you suggest. Again, this is quite a bit of effort, in
particular around testing.<br>
<br>
So the main question I'm alluding to is, to get to the level of
quality which attracts community, there is a huge amount of effort
(often researching technologies you are not familiar with) and
leadership reaching out to communities. It is probably worth asking
yourself the question of do you have the time? Or is your time
better spent focusing on your core project goals?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Cameron<br>

Your build process is fine, I am not proposing any new
changes to OSGeo Live.<br>
<br>
This demo <u><b>Addon process</b></u> is intended to
serve as a adhoc sandbox development environment for
interested users. A live DVD has finite room for
applications but running the 24dev-demo process <b>alongside
</b>OSGeo Live provides an handy platform to showcase
custom applications without re-mastering your OS. For
example, I hope to update my r4st application so that
others could peruse it and could easily adapt it to
their needs if desired. The OSGeo Live environment
allows me to easily configure the environment. <br>
<br>
</div>
Likewise others could build and add their apps to the
process, making it easy for anyone to see exactly how it
was done AND the configurations required to make it
work. I think it would be great for educational/Demo
purposes and creating applications that are "proven" to
work in a given environment.<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
Did you try extracting and running 24dev-demo on an OSGeo
Live DVD?<br>
</div>
Thanks,<br>

From reading your description, it seems there is quite a
bit of overlap from what you are describing and the
existing OSGeo-Live build process?<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
Long term, I see it as preferable to only maintain one
build process rather than many.<br>
If there are advantages to your approach which our
existing build process doesn't address, then maybe you
would be able to help us improve our existing process.<br>
<br>
Am I missing something?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Cameron

<div>The OSGeo Live DVD has a great collection of
software and is a unique development
environment. I created a customizable <u><b>Addon</b></u>,
"24dev-demo" for prototyping applications and
scripts for the OSGeo Live DVD.
<p>This demo is intended to provide users with
an easy way to try and develop applications
alongside OSGeo. The "24dev" name is a play on
words for: "Two For DEVelopment", via the Open
Source Community (OSC) and you the Open Source
Developer (OSD). <br>
</p>
<p>I have uploaded the tar file to github at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/pmcgover/24dev-demo"
target="_blank">24dev-demo</a>. I hope to
add a GIS application in a future release.
Please let me know what you think.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
