> * http://live.osgeo.org
> * There is an OSGeo-Live team that provides every half a year an image of a collection of over 50 software projects and data and tutorials
> * the OSGeo-live team prepares a Version before FOSS4G that can be used at the conference in the workshops, at presentation notebooks & and can be give away to the delegates as bootable USB drives. This is a great opportunity to spread OSGeo software and promote OSGeo!
> * Also the OSGeo-Live team adds OSM data from the region where FOSS4G takes place (live 2016 data from Bonn was added)
> * Also the OSGeo-live team can add your FOSS4G-Logo or material on the image
