[OSGeo-Discuss] Call for interest in OSGeo-Live 5.0

[Cameron Shorter]

We are starting to build the 5.0 OSGeo-Live <http://live.osgeo.org> DVD 
which will be released at FOSS4G 2011 <http://2011.foss4g.org/> this 
September where it will be handed out to all delegates. We would like to 
hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to OSGeo-Live, anyone who 
would like to use OSGeo-Live in workshops, tutorials or similar, or 
anyone who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.


    Which project version?

Could each installed project please update our status sheet to note the 
expected version to be installed on OSGeo-Live 5.0. Status sheet 
<https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB#gid=8>. 



    Key Priorities for next release

Disk Space
    We are reaching DVD size limits, and need to be creative about
    saving space 

Package Updates
    Update and test latest stable software releases 

Quickstart Reviews
    We have Project Quickstarts, but many haven't gone through
    comprehensive review yet. 

Translations
    We have varying levels of translations, and would like to increase
    that. 

Testing
    With Quality being a key focus area for us, we need lots of help
    with testing.

    01 Aug 2011 User Acceptance Test (all Apps installed and working)
