> We are starting to build the 6.0 OSGeo-Live DVD which will be released
> in September 2012, ready for FOSS4G 2012 as well as many other spatial
> conferences. This upcoming version will be built upon the stable
> Xubuntu 12.04 Long Term Support (LTS) release. Documentation will be
> translated into eight languages, now also including Chinese and
> Catalan. 
> 
> Any new applications? 
>         We would like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects
>         to OSGeo-Live, anyone wishing to extend or add extra
>         translations, or anyone who has ideas on how we should shape
>         the upcoming release. 
> Key Priorities for next release
> Package Updates 
>         Migrate to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS 
>         Update and test latest stable software releases 
> Migrating to OpenJDK
>         Due to Oracles changed license conditions for Sun-Java, Ubuntu
>         users are now strongly encouraging to move to OpenJDK instead
>         of Sun Java, due to both improvements in OpenJDK, and
>         difficult licencing conditions with Sun Java. As such, we will
>         be endevouring to move all java based applications to OpenJDK
>         (instead of Sun Java). 
> Disk Space 
>         We have reached our DVD size limits, and need to be creative
>         about saving space and disciplined in not losing space to
>         duplication. We hope to ship a single Java and single Tomcat
>         version this time, in addition to further consolidation around
>         shared sample datasets. 
> Testing 
>         With Quality being a key focus area for us, we need lots of
>         help with testing. 
> Key Milestones
>         10 Jul 2012 Feature Freeze 
>         07 Aug 2012 User Acceptance Test (all Apps installed and
>         working) 
>         28 Aug 2012 Final ISO sent to printers 
> ... full schedule
