[Live-demo] Re: FOSSGIS dvd contact

[Cameron Shorter]

Hello Sebastian,
I understand the time pressures you are probably feeling with the German 
FOSSGIS coming up soon.
And hence I agree that it would probably be prudent to delay integration 
efforts with our LiveDVD until after the conference (which would give us 
some good lead time for FOSS4G 2010).

Yes, our LiveDVD is based upon Xubuntu. As such, there should be minimal 
adjustments to port to Debian, or integrate your efforts into our Ubuntu 
build.

Re: A USB version of the LiveDVD - This is of interest to us too. I 
think that Alex (CCed) and others have investigating building a liveDVD 
on a USB (successfully). He should be able to answer any preliminary 
questions you have on this subject.
