[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive 17.0 status: beta2

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Since we are just one month away from FOSS4G 2025, I would prefer to 
spend any (limited) time we have on preparing release items than adding 
new features.
I agree it would be nice to have Parquet support (which is also missing 
on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc). I see we have an open ticket about it 
(https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/ticket/2492).

Best,
Angelos
