[Live-demo] OSGeo-Live CD

Mon May 22 17:11:07 PDT 2017

Hi Robert,

 From what I understand, a feature complete GUI SLD editor is something 
that would be valuable for the Open Source community. If SLD Editor 
provides such functionality, it would be a worthy addition.

With regards to including SLDEditor on OSGeoLive, from looking at your 
application below, it looks like SLDEditor hasn't yet reached the level 
of maturity we look for before including the project.

I'd be looking for indications that SLDEditor has been adopted more 
widely, which provides validation that the community think this project 
is good. In particular, it would be very valuable to see other 
developers being attracted to the community. A very powerful form of 
validation would be if your code were included into another project, 
such as GeoServer.

What are your thoughts on integrating with existing mature projects?

Warm regards, Cameron

> OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather than libraries. Does the application have a user interface (possibly a command line interface) that a user can interact with? (We do make an exception for Incubated OSGeo Libraries, and will include Project Overviews for these libraries, even if they don't have a user interface.)

> With around 50 applications installed on OSGeo-Live, us core packagers do not have the time to liaise with every single project email list for each OSGeo-Live release. So we require a volunteer (or two) to take responsibility for liaising between OSGeo-Live and the project's communities. This volunteer will be responsible for ensuring the install scripts and English documentation are updated by someone for each OSGeo-Live release. Also test that the installed application and Quickstart documentation works as expected on release candidate releases of OSGeo-Live. Who will act as the project's liaison person.
