As per Chris Barnett's emails, the FOSS4G 2017 would like to get it working for the global FOSS4G.

I’ve run into a couple of technical issues with this and think it would be very useful to draw on your collective knowledge and experience. What would be the best/most appropriate way to go about this? On 4/2/17 4:08 am, Chris Barnett wrote: I’m really just at the phase of ascertaining feasibility. My attempt to import the OSGeo Live VM to AWS failed because the AWS import process didn’t support Lubuntu. I think that I probably can get it to work on other cloud hosts, but I haven’t had a chance to test yet. For remote access to the desktop I’ve been using xrdp and tigervnc. This also looks like an interesting option: http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/ <http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/>, as it allows remote access via the browser. I think it would be fantastic if a cloud version could be reused beyond FOSS4G. Something like a docker image could be a nice solution, as it would be portable across many cloud providers and could also be installed locally.

Back in 2009 some people did actually get OSGeo-Live working on one of the early cloud platforms (called click2try which is now out of business). https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_35 <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_35> -- Jachym Cepicky e-mail: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> twitter: @jachymc
