You have eloquently presented the current state of OSGeo-Live and the foundations for future opportunities and growth.<br>
<br>
I particularly agree with your caution about creating multiple documentation baselines for OSGeo, (it creates a maintenance challenge) and the recommendation of retasking the same material in multiple contexts.<br>

HI Jody, All -<br>
<br>
In the past with OSGeo-Live, I have described the Mission Statement in three parts:<br>
<br>
Reference Install ; Showcase for Projects ; well-chosen (curated) examples<br>
<br>
WIth the release of Live 11 and the massive advance in Debian packaging, I believe the future is not one project. This can be seen as "evolution" .. it is natural for a large and mature project to split ..<br>
Website ; Server Edition ; Desktop Linux<br>
-<br>
with the new OSGeo web site development.. somehow I realized that the<br>
docs from OSGeo-Live should be the same docs in the new OSGeo web site. Rebuilding docs is too much work, and too many parts, to duplicate. Instead,<br>
build once and deploy in several contexts. -<br>
credit to Angelos Tzotsos and Debian Developer Sebastian Couwenburg<br>
The "server edition" of OSGeo-Live is simply UbuntuGIS PPA,<br>
with DebianGIS aka pkg-grass as the "upstream" in many cases.. -<br>
that leaves "desktop Linux" Ubuntu.. what remains of the OSGeo-Live. Critically speaking, it has been twenty years (or more) that I have been active,<br>
of promises of "desktop Linux" .. in fact, Windows and phones have spread,<br>
with some percentage of Mac OSX from Apple in various demographic groups. Web browsing is constant, phone use is constant and climbing, and .. no desktop<br>
revolution with Linux of any kind. OSGeo-Live right now, is basically desktop Linux. -<br>
Another note on Ubuntu.. as people likely know, the number one cloud VM instance<br>
is Ubuntu.. and last I heard, Google uses an Ubuntu fork for much within its cloud walls. The "server edition" of OSGeo-Live is.. Ubuntu packaging.. this bodes well.. -<br>
<br>
I am interested in participating in a BOF, but from my point of view, I think we should<br>
consider the OSGeo-Live 11 as somewhat an "end of an era" .. and move forward<br>
with eyes open to new, productive avenues for valuable efforts.<br>
best regards from Berkeley, California<br>

Is anyone up for an OSGeo Live BOF:<br>
Also I finally uploaded photos with the OSGeo-Live team from foss4ge:<br>
(example|example|group). Could I ask the team to select one of these for a group photo for the new website?<br>
<br>
Had a productive meeting with the graphics designer about subbrands on wednesday - and had a good ideas for us to try out: rather than reuse the circle, reuse the small compass shape. Tried putting the compass shape in a computer logo and the result looked like what OSGeo-Live is. Also did one putting the heart in a computer frame as a reference.<br>
