[OSGeo-Discuss] Countdown to OSGeoLive 6.0 - final call for testing

[Daniel Morissette]

Hamish,

Is there a way that one can report "success" in testing the OSGeoLive? 
Do you have a checklist somewhere? For instance, we tested the MapServer 
stuff successfully with the last beta a few days ago but found no way to 
report that anywhere.
