Special thanks to Martha Vergara that did 99% of the translation. - Command line introduction. - Improved Quickstart for OpenStretMap? thanks to Enock Seth Nyamador. Marco Minghini, Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission, says "Open source geospatial software is a key building block of many data infrastructures managed and operated by the European Commission, powering high-level, pan-European initiatives such as INSPIRE and Copernicus. The role of OSGeoLive to teach and promote the use of open source geospatial software has no equivalent. Big thanks to OSGeo and the OSGeoLive team!" OSGeoLive 14 is ready to be used at events. It will be used at ?FOSSGIS Konferenz 2021 [3] in June and ?FOSS4G 2021 [4] in September 2021.
