[Live-demo] Re: including Rasdaman on OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

All,
I've been discussing including Rasdaman on the OSGeo-Live DVD with Peter 
the project lead.

I think it will be a valuable contribution, addressing raster processing.
Others may be interested to comment on whether it should be included, or 
offer to help Peter get it packaged.
