[mapserver-dev] beta-realease of the os geospatial Live DVD "Arramagong"

[Stefan Hansen]

Hi all!

LISAsoft just released a new beta-version of the Arramagong Live DVD.
This disk provides the opportunity to try a variety of open source
geospatial applications without the need to install anything new on your
system. It contains for example GeoServer, Mapserver, GRASS, Qgis and
many more.

This Live DVD is based on the Ominiverdi LiveDVD/XUbuntu and includes
such supporting applications as Apache Web Server, Apache Tomcat
Application Server, Sun Java, PostgreSQL and PGAdmin.

Besides the applications the Live DVD provides sample data and sample
configurations and projects for most of the installed applications. A
list of the DVD content can be found here:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Arramagong_LiveDVD

The iso-image can be downloaded here:

The current release is only a beta-version and needs to be tested.
Therefore, it would be great if some of you could play a bit with the
DVD. If you discover any problems, please report them here (We don't
have an issue tracker yet):

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Arramagong_LiveDVD_issues

We are trying to provide for each geospatial application examples, so
the user can try them immediately. So far, most of our sample projects
are not really very elaborate and it would be great if someone would
create for any of the applications something much more impressive with
the available sample data. Especially our Mapserver example doesn't 
really demonstrate Mapserver's full potential. Any help with that is 
appreciated!

Anyway, we have set up a mailing list for the Live DVD:

So if you are interested, just join it!    :-)

regards,
stefan
