[Live-demo] ORFEO Toolbox in OSGeoLive?

[Alex Mandel]

As I mentioned before I already committed an initial script to svn.
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_otb.sh

Manuel, if you sign up or have an osgeo account, let us know your
username and we'll get you access to the svn.

Things the script needs:
Menu items (I suggest a menu item with a subfolder for all the GUI tools
to be launched from the sub-menu)
A 2nd script for grabbing your dataset (I suggest you collaborate with
Massimo on a small high res imagery example)
Refinement to drop extra packages we don't need.
etc...

Thanks,
Alex
