Indeed i think that Venka is right.
OSGeo-live may let people think that all the software inside is part of the
OSGeo projects. FOSS4G-live is more correct and clear in this sense.

Regarding the name of the conference i have already expressed my view
(unfortunately not considered): the important is to define rules that
guarantees equity, openess, transparence and that clerly says that foss4g
is the OSGeo AGM.
