Valenty, Edmar,
I'm interested to know how i3geo has progressed since our last discussion.
We have started our next OSGeo-Live release, and you might consider that
i3geo is ready to re-apply.
---
We are starting the build cycle for the 7.0 OSGeo-Live
<http://live.osgeo.org/> DVD/USB/VM which will be released in September
2013, ready for the global FOSS4G conference in Nottingham, UK
<http://2013.foss4g.org/>. We would like to hear from anyone wishing to
add new projects to the live DVD, anyone wishing to extend or add extra
translations, or anyone who has ideas on how we should shape the
upcoming release.
Also, could all projects please reply to us with which stable version of
their software should be included in this release.
Key Milestones
17 Jun 2013 All new applications installed, most old applications
updated
15 Jul 2013 Feature Freeze (all apps updated)
05 Aug 2013 User Acceptance Test (all apps installed and working)
