Thanks all for your positive feedback, but I'd be remiss not to point
out who really deserves the credit.
We have in the order of 80 people have contributed at various times to
packaging and translating applications on OSGeo-Live. But in particular,
Alex Mandel, Hamish Bowman, Brian Hamlin and Angelos Tzotsos have put in
an exceptional amount of unglamorous work to get this release out. They
have turned releases over, trawled through compile logs looking for
bugs, tested and then re-tested applications, and hovered on IRC chat
answering questions and supporting other developers get their
applications working. It is the combined work of all these people,
working quietly in the background on lots of small tasks, which makes
the DVD the quality product it has become.
I think the true value of this DVD is not just that people have the
chance to easily trial Geospatial Open Source software, but that it
presents the software in a professional way, demonstrating the attention
to detail present in our OSGeo-Stack, which gives new users the
confidence to switch from proprietary software.
Oh, and Stephen, we do include information about pgrouting here:
