[Live-demo] Using OSGeo hosting platform for developingArramagong/LiveDVD/GISVM

[Cameron Shorter]

Gavin,

I'm very excited by the potential of integrating Sahana and the LiveDVD. 
This is exactly the sort of domain specific use case which I see as 
being the next step for our packaging efforts.

I'd love to talk with you further about this. Can I call you on a 
landline or skype or similar?
