[foss4g2014] who should we talk to at foss4g pdx re OSGeo-Live

[Daniel Karnes]

I can answer the first question: I’ve been designated as the workshop coordinator, and have been in contact with presenters to get their requirements. Most of those using OSGeo Live will be fine with the vanilla version, though a couple have special requirements, which at this point we’re addressing using various workarounds. One group of presenters has already supplied us with a VM based on Windows and their own software suite.  I can forward the responses I’ve gotten, and we can decide upon the best way to communicate with all parties and take care of the special cases.

As for the remaining questions, we’ll be taking those up at the LOC meeting tomorrow evening.
