[Live-demo] OSGeo live - osm2x3d

Sun May 31 13:27:27 PDT 2015

There is no reason for disappointment.
I would suggest to prepare an installer for the project (or even better 
a deb file), to make it easy for users to install and try your software 
from within the Live VM.
Then we can add the installer in our beta area and we can reconsider for 
later releases.

Best,
Angelos
