[OSGeoLive] [Qgis-community-team] [OSGeoLive 13.0] QGIS 3.4 overview and quickstart overhaul

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi,

The OSGeoLive documentation is online at https://live.osgeo.org/
We update this web site at every release.

Our release schedule is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=116979069254767149509

Best,
Angelos
