[Live-demo] Live Demo Feature Freeze in 24 hours, get your install scripts finished

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo Live DVD developers,

As per our very tight schedule, we have a feature freeze in 24 hours.

By that, I mean that I want all install scripts committed back to 
subversion, or at least emailed to this list.
How to is here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build

If you can't complete your script, then feel free to suggest an 
alternative, which has very easy steps to follow. Provide these details 
in an issue in the issue tracker:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?group=status&component=LiveDVD&order=priority
Make sure to set the project="LiveDVD".
I can't guarantee that we will be able to get this included, but we will 
try.

I plan to create a new version of the Live DVD Virtual Machine over the 
weekend, and hope to have it ready for download early next week, and 
then I'm hoping you all will run the image through a comprehensive set 
of tests during the following week.

We will cut a Beta release of the DVD on 11 September, and have a final 
freeze on 18 September, before we send the DVD to the printers.

I've only had a couple of people ask me for subversion access. Please 
send me your osgeo user id if you are writing scripts, so you can commit 
the scripts to svn yourself. Create your user id here if you don't have one:
http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid

Over all, the disk is starting to take shape, and I think it will be 
very well received at the FOSS4G conference. Thanks everyone for your 
help and enthusiasm so far.
