[Live-demo] OSGeo-Live 11.0 - should kosmo continue to be included?

Wed Jun 7 13:06:24 PDT 2017

Hi Sergio,

Further to Angelos' email.

As I understand it, Kosmo is one of a number of forks of the Jump 
codebase? Are there opportunities to combine the projects back together 
again, and then benefit from combined communities and combine marketing?

Maybe handle differences by using a plugin concept (which is the 
approach used by QGIS)?

Warm regards, Cameron
