[Live-demo] GEOS image for OSGeo-Live Overview

[Cameron Shorter]

Martin,
In that case, I'd suggest that JTS is a likely candidate for OSGeo-Live. 
Next steps, if you wish to progress is to check to see what is involved 
from your part, and if you want to progress, then send a request to have 
JTS join osgeo-live, as per:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Apply
