[Workshops] [Live-demo] OSGeoLive in FOSS4G 2014 workshops?

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks for the clarification Micha,
To date we only have one version of each application installed on 
OSGeo-Live, and I don't think we should break that policy. (We aim to 
ensure a clear and simple experience for new users).
So I think we should only have one version of GRASS installed. Maybe 
QGIS could be fixed to work with GRASS 7.0 within the next month?

Or alternatively, a install_grass7.sh script could be included on the 
disk, and workshop instructions would start with "first run the 
install_grass7.sh script ..."
