Yes I will submit my proposal on April7, 2011 and last date for submitting proposal is April8. > A few comments from me on your idea: > > You need to be clear what it is that you are proposing to build 'OSM Server' > can mean a few different things from an API server to use for your own > version of OSM, or I think you might mean a map rendering tile server? > I think an easy set up for a map rendering system would be good.

I will preferably do it with ubuntu. But It had taken mine 20 to 25 days when I have installed it first time, and again next time with the same overhead but in 5 days approximately with doing so many things manually. > I would recommend using the operating system's package management system to > avoid writing too much yourself, but there should be a fair amount of coding > required to set up all of the right installation paths for the various tools > etc. Thank's for the suggestion. > As to whether this exists already or not, I have not found it, but someone > did once say there was a 'liveCD' for some of this, which may have some of > what you are proposing if you can find it. > Regards I think having a "liveCD" and easy installation package are different things, as we can make the liveCD of any working system or server and can Install it anywhere on other system.
