Hi Suchith - greetings from berkeley, california

  For convenience of recording download statistics, and perhaps also
reliability of uptime, OSGeo-Live dot-iso is available only from the
SourceForge page [0]

[0]  https://sourceforge.net/projects/osgeo-live/files/11.0/

  The 32-bit build is used occasionally, but not recommended.
Further, dot-iso-dot-md5 is only a short file showing a checksum on the
valid image. That leaves only  the correct 64-bit dot-iso file  [1]

[1]  osgeo-live-11.0-amd64.iso        2017-08-02           3.9 GB

  I trust that answers your vendors question.

Hi Jo, all,

Many thanks for the contacts for this. I have contacted the DVD
supplier for this and to download from
https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html and got query back "The link
has multi options for downloading ISO files and it's not 100% clear
what link I should use for the ISO"

Could someone  help me provide the correct link, so I can reply to the
supplier so they can download the correct version . Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Suchith,

It took a while for me to dig out this information, but this is the
company that we used for FOSS4G 2013:

http://www.vponline.co.uk/quote.html
Total cost for 800 units - DVD - in clear plastic wallet
* Inkjet colour = £290
* Inject colour with waterproof coating = £520
* Thermal colour = £636

For reliable USB drives, at Astun we use a company called USB2U and we
go for this model:

Twister USB 3.0 Flash Drive 8GB - White

These seem to come in at around £4.12 per item but I don't know how
many we buy at a time to get that rate.

Hope that helps

Jo

Hi all,

This is a request for help. I am discussing ideas with GODAN colleagues
on how to expand ideas for AgriGIS Capacity Development and I have put
forward suggestion to provide OSGeo Live USBs/DVDs for the training
programs etc. This will ensure the participants have in addition to the
training all the free and open geo tools and sample open geodata to
take away and be empowered.

I remember some years back for OSGIS conferences in Nottingham, I
arranged OSGeoLive DVDs but I don’t now remember details of the
suppliers. Could I request if you have contacts of reliable suppliers
(ideally in the UK), that I can contact to get quotes for bulk
suppliers on the price of the flash drives (8GB) and DVDs with
OSGeoLive and GODAN logos and all content loaded (download from
https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html  )  and checked for  all
USBs/DVDs supplied.

I hope once we do this for few training programs we will be able to
expand the idea for the future. Please email me at
Suchith.Anand at godan.info<mailto:Suchith.Anand at godan.info>    the
contact details of USB/DVD suppliers who can do this, so I can request
quotes. Thanks in advance for your help.

Best wishes,

Suchith
