[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo-Live 10.5 beta1 released. Join the test & documentation sprint from 23.-26.2.2017

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

OSGeo-Live 10.5 beta1 is ready for download at [1]. We're looking for 
testing applications and updating docs and translations.

In particular, we need help to:
* Check if any new features need to be added to Project Overviews
* Run Quickstarts and verify they work as described. Please join us on 
irc://freenode.net#osgeolive in the upcoming days during our testing 
sprint.
* Update review status in our spreadsheet [2]. (It really helps us know 
if an application has been reviewed, and by who).
* Translate docs that have been updated.

OSGeo-Live is scheduled to be the default installation at 10+ of the 
FOSSGIS workshops, and used at FOSS4G Europe [3] in Paris in july . We 
strongly urge all workshop leaders to test OSGeo-Live now and provide 
feedback, while there is still time to tweak anything required for the 
workshop.
