[OSGeoLive] desktop beta candidate alpha?

[Brian M Hamlin]

Hi All Desktop Arts and OSGeo Marketing People -

   we had a summer-time #osgeolive team weekly meeting 24 hours ago, but 
not everyone could attend. We discussed the artwork and the build 
schedule to deliver deadlines for FOSS4G 2022.

   For expedience, we can use the white+green "Boboli" artwork for 
documentation, presentation and the ISO version, and second we can use 
the black+white "Firenze City" artwork for the VM version only.

   If there is no objection to this plan, the next ISO build from Athens 
will have the white+green theme, and first VM version builds later can 
be adjusted to include the black+white imagery.

   ps- please contact the translator team if your software or language 
group is not 100% complete. It takes many hands to make light work.


   best regards from Berkeley, Calif.
