[Live-demo] MapTiler for FOSS4G 2009

[Cameron Shorter]

Klokan,

If your application is stable, and we get it on in time, and it passes QA next week, then yes it is welcome on the disk.

The steps for getting your application on the LiveDVD are outlined here.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build

In short, we are looking for you to write an installer script (by tomorrow) that we can run and install your application.

As you already have a .deb file, it should be reasonably straight forward.

>From the LiveDVD point of view, we are memory constrained. In particular, any disk writes you do in your application, are written to memory. This might be limiting for a demo of a tiling application.


We do plan to have windows installers on the live DVD, and I need to 
chase FrankW about what is done for that.
