Dear Angelos, all,
sure, I'll join next Tuesday at 19.00 UTC, thanks for the invitation.
I take this opportunity to comment that we have been making progress for
inclusion in the upcoming OSGeoLive 15, producing a .sh that is able to
install, start and stop the application. We have made this .sh inspired
by other projects, but at this point we need some more concrete
guidelines on how to proceed.
We know that we are pending approval for the ETF inclusion, but we are
really committed to this task, so any indication is more than welcome.
Best regards,
José Enrique Soriano Sevilla
