The OSGeoLive team are proud to announce the release of version 14.0 [1] of the OSGeoLive GIS software collection.

We would like to dedicate this version to our friend Malena Libman who passed away shortly before OSGeoLive 14.0 was released. FOSS4G 2021 Buenos Aires was her dream.
Farewell Malena, we will miss you.

Marco Minghini, Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission, says "Open source geospatial software is a key building block of many data infrastructures managed and operated by the European Commission, powering high-level, pan-European initiatives such as INSPIRE and Copernicus. The role of OSGeoLive to teach and promote the use of open source geospatial software has no equivalent. Big thanks to OSGeo and the OSGeoLive team!"

OSGeoLive 14 is ready to be used at events. It will be used at FOSSGIS Konferenz 2021 [3] in June and FOSS4G 2021 [4] in September 2021.
