[mapguide-internals] MGOS Live CD

[Jason Birch]

Hi Gwenael,

That's great news.  Nice easy way for folks to try out MapGuide, and a
definite plus for educational sessions.  Are the Ubuntu build
instructions on the OSGeo wiki being updated for this project if/when
problems are found?

One of my pet peeves when I was playing around with 7.10 was that I
couldn't get the services to start automatically once I'd rebooted; it
would be great if this gets figured out as part of the LiveCD creation
:)

Personally, I think that if the LiveCD isn't a promo piece (no big
splash screens for ADSK, CampToCamp, etc) and doesn't contain
proprietary software, we should consider putting this in the MapGuide
Open Source downloads area on download.osgeo.org.

I would like to inform you that I am working with Camptocamp on a
MapGuide Open Source LiveCD.

Based on Ubuntu, it includes the server and webextensions (Apache and
PHP), all the MGOS samples and MapGuide Maestro.
The Iso should be ready in September. It's currently a 460 MB file.

I would like to discuss the best way to host this iso file.
Could it be done on the OSGeo servers ?
