The build cycle for the next OSGeoLive release 17.0, has started. Our
base operating system for the new version is Lubuntu 24.04.

FOSS4G 2024 in Bélem (Brasilia) [1].

Please have a look at our schedule for the detailed steps [2].

Open tickets are listed in [3].


We are looking for new projects
-------------------------------------------

For this release, we hope to help OSGeo Community projects join
OSGeoLive, and work out how we can keep within our size constraints.


You are welcome to join our team!

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience?

Are you a programmer or packager with experience in one of the Open
Source GIS applications? Are you a technical writer interested in making
FOSS4G accessible to all?
Are you interested in helping update translations to latest documents on
Weblate [4]?


Contact us
----------------
If you would like to add a new project or have another goal you would
like to work on and get involved you are very welcome.

Please join the OSGeoLive mailing list [5] or OSGeoLive Discourse [8]

Documentation and translation
-----------------------------------------

With this building cycle we are starting with a new category [8] on
discourse.

The main focus of this category is documentation and translation.
Translation is taking place on [4], and we have a basic training video
[9].

We want to be able to add as many new languages to the release's
documentation.
Those with at least  35% will be considered for inclusion in the
documentation.

If you have questions on how to add a language, please do not hesitate
to ask in [8].

Pull requests for documentation are welcome in OSGeoLive's documentation
github repository [10].

Documentation & translation meetings will take place on OSGeo meet for
OSGeoLive [11]
