[Live-demo] Fwd: One week till OSGeo-Live Feature Freeze

Mon Jan 24 06:16:03 EST 2011

Javi,
Thank you very much for volunteering to take on the OSM project.
The person who should be able to get you started is Hamish, who was a 
bit of a packaging legend and packaged up 5 to 10 applications for the 
last release, as well as writing many supporting docs.

In particular, I suggest that the Quickstart documentation should be 
able to be expanding to discuss all the included tools, and also include 
screenshots.

Hamish will probably have suggestions regarding which version of 
applications to package.
