> To Geospatial Open Source Project Leaders:
>
> The Arramagong Live DVD <http://arramagong.com>, GISVM
> <http://gisvm.com>, and OSGeo Live-Demo
> <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc> projects are collaborating to
> create a set of simple, automated install scripts for a wide variety of
> Free and Open Source GIS projects, and we're calling on each project to
> help us write a script for their software. Projects that can write their
> install script this week will be included on The Arramamgong Live DVD
> which will be given to all delegates at the FOSS4G
> <http://2009.foss4g.org> conference.
>
> The scripts should cover the installation and configuration of each
> project into a base Xubuntu <http://www.xubuntu.org/> 9.04 system.
> Separate scripts can optionally cover data, demos and tutorials. As a
> bonus, these scripts are exactly what packagers require to bundle your
> project into Debian and Ubuntu, so you will be taking the first steps
> toward getting your project into a Linux distribution.
>
> The base version of the FOSS4G2009 GISVM/Arramagong Live DVD can be
> trialed in a VMWare virtual machine and downloaded from:
> http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/Arramagong_GISVM_FOSS4G2009_alpha1.7z

> Timeline

> Date Date Milestone
> 7 Sep 2009 in 1 week LiveDVD Feature Freeze
> 11 Sep 2009 in 2 weeks LiveDVD Beta Release
> 18 Sep 2009 in 3 weeks LiveDVD Final Freeze
> 20 Sep 2009 in 3 weeks LiveDVD Final Release & sent to printers

> Packaging Howto
>
> For projects already packaged for Ubuntu <http://packages.ubuntu.com/>
> or DebianGIS <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis>, an install script will
> likely be as simple as:
>
> install_mapserver.sh
> <https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_mapserver.sh>
>
> #!/bin/sh
> apt-get install cgi-mapserver
>
>
> Projects that haven't been packaged yet are slightly more complicated:
>
> install_udig.sh
> <https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_udig.sh>
>
> #!/bin/sh

> As we are still bootstrapping the packaging project, and as we are very
> short on time before feature freeze, manual steps can be included as

> member, or packager at a later date.
