[OSGeoLive] Asking projects to add a docker section in their quickstarts?

[Jochen Albrecht]

I agree, Angelos.
Related but going a little further is another suggestion of mine.
I believe that a high percentage of OSGeoLive users are classrooms (correct
me if I am wrong).
I found OS and BIOS incompatibilities of both flash drives and VMs to be
major sources of problems distracting from actually teaching GIS.
A template or recipe book on how to set up OSGeoLive on hosting platforms
such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Alibaba Cloud, and possibly finding
sponsors to fund such setups would help tremendously in the wider use of
OSGeoLive.
Cheers,
      Jochen
