[Live-demo] ORFEO Toolbox in OSGeoLive?

[Cameron Shorter]

Manuel,
ORFEO Toolbox does sound like a positive addition for OSGeo-Live. Thank 
you for considering being included.

A few questions before moving forward:

1. OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather 
than libraries that are included into other applications. Does ORFEO 
Toolbox have a user interface (possibly command line interface) that a 
user can interact with and try out ORFEO Toolbox?

2. OSGeo-Live is memory and disk constrained.
Can ORFEO Toolbox run in 512 Meg or RAM?

How much disk space will be required to install ORFEO Toolbox and a 
suitable example application.

What datasets would be required for a demonstration? Can you make use of 
the naturalearth dataset already installed, or would you need something 
else?

3. You mention that ORFEO is in OSGeo incubation. I can't see ORFEO 
listed at http://osgeo.org . Have you started incubation, or are you on 
the waiting list to start incubation?

4. Stability is very important to us on OSGeo-Live. Do you have a bug 
free, stable release, which has been rolled out to production in a 
number of locations?

5. I notice the CeCILL licence you use is not listed on OSI list of 
licences. Has license been discussed and resolved on the 
OSGeo-Incubation list?

6. Do you have a person (maybe yourself?) prepared to volunteer to be 
the OSGeo-Live representative, who will take responsibility for liaising 
between the project and OSGeo-Live and make sure that scripts and 
documentation are updated for each release.
