Tomorrow I'm giving with Pedro-Juan (OSGeo-es Liason Officer and fellow)
the Spanish FOSS4G OSGeo Live DVD presentation.

The slides (in Spanish) are at [1] (better with a recent version of
chrome or firefox).

We are making more or less the same talk than in the past gvSIG Conf
that had three parts:

- - What is the OSGeo LiveDVD and project

- - The point of view of a local chapter: How the Spanish Local chapter
has worked on the project on translations

- - The point of view of a software project: How gvSIG has worked on the
project.


This way we present different aspects of the project, without entering
strictly on the contents of the LiveDVD. So it's more an organizational
talk than a technical one.

Do you think it's worth to translate our slides and publish them
somewhere? Maybe with a more general approach than with OSGeo-es/gvSIG.

Cheers
