[SAC] 2013 Agenda - was: Upgrade list for VMs

[Alex Mandel]

I just need to figure out how to get people authenticated and finish
installing 4 new 12 core nodes so I have more room for more Vms. It will
probably take a couple of weeks, though I have a Win7 machine I made for
benchmarking that we can test on already.

Any idea how to extend OSGeo LDAP to windows domain login?

I actually attempted to build such a VM a few years back, to try to do
open source (mingw) compiling of everything. Got stuck on geos or gdal
and gave up. Are we going the Visual Studio Express route?


Thanks,
Alex
