[Live-demo] Live 9.5 desktop image candidate

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

So, we’ve been handing out Live OSgeo thumb drives for a couple of years now, and we’ve put a bit of work into explaining how to get up and running with it to new users.  We hand out a getting started card for example.  

One item that we wanted to run past the list for, is an addition to the VM start screen. The idea is to  add a Network checking process to the interface, something that pops up a dialog to explain that there is no network configured.

Most people who have experience with setting up computers know to check something like this, even in a VM, but your average new user of a VM, doesn’t know by default that they also need to configure the network for the VM after is starts.

Thoughts?

I like the use of stars, and wonder how it would look if you would change the green logo to a translucent white shadow, probably also make the "OSGeo-Live 9.5" text more transparent too. Or maybe even make the stars cluster into the OSGeo logo design.
