[Live-demo] ORFEO Toolbox in OSGeoLive?

Thu Jan 20 11:00:31 EST 2011

Hi,

I wrote the Overview and QuickStart texts for the OTB project in the frame
of the next release of OSGeo live.

I don't know if I've got access to the SVN repository to push the file  (my
OSGeo login is  'manuelgrizonnet').

However, you can find the first version of the documentation with also
related logo/images here :
http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/svn_osgeolive_backup.tgz

Do not hesitate if I made mistakes.

Regards,

Manuel
