[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G LiveCD

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Cameron, would be a great start.
from our part we need to know if Luca (doktoreas) is available, he's the 
"liveCd Man".

btw, Bruce, encouraging comments, thank you
if Luca has time it would be great to keep you two in touch and fix the 
problem.
this is what we were looking for

ciao
Lorenzo
