We are starting to build the 5.5 <a href="http://live.osgeo.org"
class="external text" rel="nofollow">OSGeo-Live</a> DVD which will
be released in March 2012, ready for the Spanish FOSS4G, FOSSGIS
Germany, GISRUK in England and the MapWindow/FOSS4G Regional
Netherlands Conference, among others. We would like to hear from
anyone wishing to add new projects to OSGeo-Live, anyone wishing to
extend or add extra translations, or anyone who has ideas on how we
should shape the upcoming release.
