Hi Judit,
Great to have you on board.
I've CCed your email to the demo list so that we can work on a response
in parallel.
Of note, I've started updating the Wiki build steps, in response to your
questions at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build#How_to_add_your_project_or_data_to_GISVM_.2F_Arramagong
