Hi Nicolas,
Here is an alternative wording which you might want to consider for a
presentation:
**
*Title: OSGeoLive - State of the union*
*
Description:
The OSGeoLive project has consistently and sustainably been attracting
contributions from ~ 50 projects for over a decade. Why has it been
successful? What has attracted hundreds of diverse people to contribute
to this project? How are technology changes affecting OSGeoLive, and by
extension, the greater OSGeo ecosystem? Where is OSGeoLive heading and
what are the challenges and opportunities for the future?
In this presentation we will touch on the principles that helped us
become successful. We will cover current opportunities and challenges,
and why people are using OSGeoLive now. And we will postulate where we
think we might be heading next.
OSGeoLive is a Lubuntu based distribution of Geospatial Open Source
Software, preconfigured with software, data, project overviews and
quickstarts. It is great for testing the latest OSGeo software, using in
workshops and tutorials, and has become a valuable marketing pipeline
for OSGeo projects.

>> Thanks for the comments; I made the proposal like this:
>> OSGeoLive is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb
>> drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows
>> you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial
>> software without installing anything. It is composed
>> entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely
>> distributed, duplicated and passed around.
>> It provides pre-configured applications for a range of
>> geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing,
>> viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. It also
>> contains sample datasets and documentation.
>> OSGeoLive is an OSGeo project used in several workshops
>> at FOSS4Gs around the world.
>>
>> OSGeoLive 13.0 will be released at the end of July 2019
>> ready for FOSS4G 2019.
>> Still working on the improvements initiated for OSGeoLive
>> 12.0, it will embedded latest stable version of a vast
>> choice of Open Source Geospatial software. The work on
>> the geodata science with Python and R stacks have also
>> been continued. Documentation is also a big building area
>> and we made a proposal to Google Season of Docs in order
>> to get it even better. We would like to encourage people
>> around the world to help us translate it.
>> This presentation will reflect what we did for OSGeoLive
>> 13.0, what choices have been made, what we plan to do for
>> 14.0 and after.
>>
>> We still can change things but I hit the 1250 characters

>>
>> Choice I made to questions:
>>
>> In which general topic would you include this submission?
>> => Uses cases and applications
>>
>> In which general theme does this submission best fit?
>>
>> Software status, new development
>>
>> Please, rate your submission with respect to its

>>
>> 1 - Minimal technical knowledge
>>
>>
>> Please see screen captures in the google doc to see other
