[Live-demo] Geo4All branding on OSGeo-Live?

[Cameron Shorter]

Suchith, Geoforall community,


What I think OSGeo-Live and Geoforall is missing, and would really 
benefit from, is having a self motivated individual (or 2) from the 
Geoforall community step forward and offer to coordinate USE of OSGeo-Live.


OSGeo-Live already has very competent technical people who create the 
OSGeo-Live distribution. There are also numerous individuals pulling 
together workshops and courses which reference OSGeo-Live. What is 
missing is someone to put in the time to rally all the OSGeo-Live users 
together. Someone to reach out to workshop teams and coordinate 
aggregating workshop material into a common repository (or similar). One 
way to start this would be for someone to start with one workshop and 
then draw in others. Alternatively, start by reviewing and improving 
quickstarts.


It is a non-trivial task, but would be hugely valuable to both Geoforall 
and OSGeo-Live if someone was to step up and commit to it long term.


If you are reading this, and think you, or someone you know, might be up 
to the task, then do speak up.


Warm regards, Cameron
