[Live-demo] Live GIS on Click2Try

[Alex Mandel]

Tom,

Just wanted to let you know that the folks over at OSGeo are close to a
final release of a new VM/ISO build that contains a lot of FOSS GIS
software already installed, preconfigured and including docs, samples.

As I mentioned at OSCON we would love to figure out the best way to get
this loaded up on click2try. Here are the options we can easily provide:
A bootable DVD
A VMware vmdk
You can build it from a base Xubuntu 9.04 install using the scripts out
of our svn.

If it helps to get it in another format let us know.

FYI, downloads which are not quite up to date (2.0.3 uploading today)
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/

The mailing list can be joined at:
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo

And just so you know, future versions of http://www.gisvm.com/ will be
based off it too, they've been collaborating on the project.

Thanks,
