[Live-demo] Arramagong_GISVM_FOSS4G2009_alpha1

Tue Sep 1 16:28:04 EDT 2009

Richardo,
I agree, it is a good idea to compress the image.

I suggest bump the version number up to alpha2, then upload to the osgeo 
server.
I suggest you do it, because it will probably take a couple of days if 
left to me.
