Alex,
I'm delighted to see your offer of help. Thank you.
Could you please start by subscribing to our email list:
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo
The first thing we need help with is translating the existing
Application Overviews.
Pick a missing translation from the status page here:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlRFyY1XenjJdFRDbjFyWHg1MlNTRm10QXk0UWEzWlE&authkey=CPTB6uIE&hl=en_GB#gid=0
Then translate in accordance with the process here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Translate
In 3 or 4 weeks, we will be starting our testing phases and your help
there will also be very valuable.
I provide more details on the email list as we get closer.
Welcome to the osgeo-live family.

Wow, that's cool, thanks very much! Dare I ask, how difficult was it?
Did you have to do any recompilation or just a slight tweak to the
package headers or something?
Second question, would you have done it if it weren't for this 4.5
release of the live DVD? Was that a one-off fix to get around the
problem of Prune not being in the Lucid repositories, or would there be
a benefit to keep this gis-unstable up to date with future backports to
the LTS release? Version 11 of Prune is already in Narwhal, so if there
was any interest then theoretically that could be backported too. But if
it was just a one-off then that's fine too :)

I downloaded the source and debian files from the Maverick package,
modified the changelog to rename the package for lucid, checked the
local build and then put the package to launchpad as source.
So I had:
prune_10/
debian/
tim/
build.sh
cd into prune_10
dch -i to edit the changelog
debuild to test building
debuild -S -sa -k### (# is your ssh-key for signing)
dput ppa:wildintellect/wildintellect
gpsprune_10-1ubuntu1ppa1~lucid1_source.changes
(Can't find the web page I followed right now)
This was a one time thing specifically to make sure it was available for
Live 4.5 but could be done with future versions. If you have stable
releases of the application and the dependencies are available I think
you used package it for Lucid, Maverick and Natty. The goal of UbuntuGIS
is to have the most recent versions of apps available since the main
repos of Ubuntu can be up to 1 year behind. So if 11 is released there's
nothing stopping it being backported to Lucid and Maverick.
Thanks,
Alex

We should develop our screen background image for the next (March 2010)
OSGeo-Live DVD, so that it can be used in screen grabs where required.
My only suggested criteria is that the background theme looks noticeably
different to previous release (but ideally keeps some common feel).
I'm not an artist, and would dearly like some help with our background
desktop image if anyone is able to help out.

I'd suggest to not include a changeable backdrop image in screen
shots if possible, so that we don't have the burden of updating
them for every release.

as it's still 4.x, I'm not so worried about the interim version
being highly distinct, but have no great opinion about that-
I would not discourage wonderful designs.. :)

ps- I'm finding the desktop a bit cluttered and had thought to
perhaps drop the app desktop folders and only have them available
from top menu bar.
votes yes/no?

Hi folks,
I agree with Hamish that since it is a 4.x version, it would be better
to keep the backdrop image.
As for the Desktop icons, even though I agree (personally I don't like
links on my Desktop) about Desktop cluttering, I think it is helpful for
people not familiar with the GNU/Linux OS.
And I know a lot of those people that are willing to try OSGeo Live...
so -1 from me
