[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive 17.0 status: beta2

[Brian M Hamlin]

Regarding Openstreetmap derivitive Overture Maps and other users of 
Parquet or "geoParquet" , #osgeolive is the only modern desktop linux 
that has no support for GDAL Parquet reading.

The LiDAR stack has been similarly lacking for years, but this Parquet 
situation is simply deficient.
