[Live-demo] Please help keep MapGuide on LiveDVD 5.0

Fri Jul 15 12:02:28 PDT 2011

Thank you Johan for the offer,

 From the Live DVD schedule point of view,

If we can get a working install of Mapguide working within the next 
week, by ~ 25 July, then I'd like to include it on OSGeo-Live.
That gives us 1 week before User Acceptance Test (1 August), to work out 
how much space we have on the DVD, and how we manage that.

Hopefully FDO will just be minor fixups to the existing CMake build process.  Not sure about MapGuide.  We may want to switch to CMake to make distro libraries a little easier to handle.
