Hi lets meet at in 12 hours on IRC to finalise content of the Press
Release:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?hour=19&min=30&sec=0&p1=179&p2=189&p3=224&p4=22&p5=240&p6=196&p7=215">http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?hour=19&min=30&sec=0&p1=179&p2=189&p3=224&p4=22&p5=240&p6=196&p7=215</a><br>
<br>
Thanks Brain for adding some background context. I think we should
use some of your suggestions (and pad out my initially short 1
sentence introduction).<br>
<br>
With regards to layout, there are a few suggestions I'd like to
suggest.<br>
<br>
This revised version now repeats content in places. We should
respect our readers' time and only say things once.<br>
Likewise, we should try to be concise. I think we should aim to have
core content in one paragraph. Remaining content can be under
following headings, making it easy for a reader to decide whether to
keep reading or not.<br>
<br>
You have introduced a location for the press release "Greece". This
is a nice way to acknowledge Angelos who had been putting in an
impressive effort keeping turning this project over, and putting out
builds. However, I think we should also be thankful and recognise
all the volunteers who contribute, who come from all over the world.
As such, I suggest dropping the location.<br>
<br>
For the same reason, I don't think I should be singled out to be
quoted. I do like the quote though. <br>
Instead tweak to:<br>
<meta charset="utf-8">
"We, the OSGeo-Live team, believe this release to be the best
OSGeo-Live to date. It includes the technical benefits of a
rock-solid Ubuntu 1404 LTS, combined with the light-weight LXDE
desktop interface for ease of use, and 8 years of continual
improvements from the OSGeo community. We been touched to see
significant interest from the educational and government sectors."<br>
<br>
I'm wary of singling out a subset of applications that have been
improved, unless there has been a big jump in functionality since
last release. (QGIS might fit that category) <br>
<br>
Cheers, Cameron<br>

For GeoPackage support you're missing GDAL 2.0 and SpatiaLite 4.3.0 at
least.
Kind Regards,
