<p>I'm sharing your email with the OSGeo-Live email list and will
start a separate thread, CC discuss and osgeo-live lists, asking
if anyone has experience taking OSGeo to the cloud.<br>

<div class="">I’m really just at the phase of ascertaining
feasibility. My attempt to import the OSGeo Live VM to AWS
failed because the AWS import process didn’t support Lubuntu. I
think that I probably can get it to work on other cloud hosts,
but I haven’t had a chance to test yet. For remote access to the
desktop I’ve been using xrdp and tigervnc. This also looks like
an interesting option: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/" class="">http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/</a>,
as it allows remote access via the browser.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think it would be fantastic if a cloud version
could be reused beyond FOSS4G. Something like a docker image
could be a nice solution, as it would be portable across many
cloud providers and could also be installed locally. </div>

Hi Cameron,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We’ll be sure to discuss this at our
workshop committee meeting this evening. My sense is
that it is perfectly in line with our vision for
workshops and that most likely we can find folks to
fill in the very few gaps that Regina (who is on our
committee) is not confident about.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’d also like to chat with someone from
the OSGeo-Live community about OSGeo-Live resources.
OSGeo-Live USB sticks will be available to workshop
participants, but we’d also like to make cloud-based
instances available via remote desktop. I’ve run
into a couple of technical issues with this and
think it would be very useful to draw on your
collective knowledge and experience. What would be
the best/most appropriate way to go about this?</div>
