As announced a couple of days back, FOSS4G 2010 has put out a call for 
abstracts, and I think we have a very compelling abstract that we, the 
LiveDVD community should present.

In particular, as mentioned in previous threads, I think we should put 
forward a "Lightening Overview of all packages on the LiveDVD". (This 
would be close to an overview of the OSGeo stack and FOSS4G conference).

I'm hoping that we can make this a 60 minute speach, which would allow ~ 
60 secs for each application on the LiveDVD, plus a brief overview for 
each section (servers, desktops, etc).

I'll put this together into a wiki page and invite comment.
