[OSGeoLive] Maintenance of OSGeo Live Docs

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Angelos,
If the OSGeo-Live folks are up for it, I think it will be valuable for the
tech writers to show what they have done, and collect any feedback or
thoughts before going and applying across all quickstarts.

It will also provide the team with some experience working with a friendly
audience within the OSGeo community before starting the process of reaching
out to the 50 other OSGeo projects.

When is the next OSGeo-Live meeting planned? Could our tech writers come
along?
