[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Jim,

Good points all, and this seems be in line with other list conversations related to setting up video tutorials for OSGeo stack items.

I can't make the meeting, but I have been wondering for awhile if the target should be moved to a 8GB USB stick (or DL DVD).

I am not sure if this holds World wide, but locally 4GB and 8GB USB sticks are essentially the same price and 8GB sticks are much easier to find.  Again locally, from 4GB to 32GB the bigger price difference is USB2 vs USB3 rather than based on the capacity.

There is certainly benefit in the discipline gained by being forced to be efficient with software size.  And I know as someone who has been involved in making Live USBs for several conferences that even slight increases in cost with limited budgets means less copies can be given out.  But given at least my local observations, I no longer see the gain in limiting ourselves to 4GB and I worry if we are forced to exclude projects that provide good examples of the rich selection of the FLOSS geospatial ecosystem based on what may well be an outdated limit.

Hi all,

We have received a pull request from gvSig to upgrade version from 2.2 to 2.4
As can be seen here https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/206#issuecomment-401786071 this will double the installation size of gvSig.

Lets discuss this tonight, so we can make a decision.

Best,
Angelos
