[Live-demo] Re: [Foss4g2010] FOSS4G 2010 Call for Abstract

[Cameron Shorter]

Who on this list will be at FOSS4G 2010? (I won't be)

I'd love to see someone propose a presentation which walks through the 
FOSS4G stack by demonstrating the LiveDVD.

We received feedback from FOSS4G 2009 that it would have been very 
useful to participants if they could see an overview of the OSGeo 
software at the start of the conference so that they could then 
determine which presentations they should go to.

A LiveDVD overview would be perfect for that.
