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

[Cameron Shorter]

Daniel,
Good question. I've added a column to our status spreadsheet here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc#gid=13

After you have verified all steps in the quickstart work, please add 
<version tested><your userid>
Eg: 6.0b7camerons
(Follow the same convention of VM Tested, and ISO Tested columns.)
