[Live-demo] [foss4g2014] who should we talk to at foss4g pdx re OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Dan,
Yes, it would be good to have an understanding of how OSGeoLive is being 
used at FOSS4G, even if just to populate our history page:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History

If there are any specific tweaks that make sense, we can consider that 
for the generic distribution too.

Most of those using OSGeo Live will be fine with the vanilla version, though a couple have special requirements, which at this point we’re addressing using various workarounds. One group of presenters has already supplied us with a VM based on Windows and their own software suite.  I can forward the responses I’ve gotten, and we can decide upon the best way to communicate with all parties and take care of the special cases.
