Just to add to the mix, and stir the pot somewhat, an idea to consider
on this . . . what about . . .
having some sort of support stack/infrastructure in place for
providing the OSGeo-Live as a bunch of different devices and
(portable) services. For example,
* Generating the Thumb Drives
* These should be generated as needed, based on our usage
locally for different events. When we don’t end up using some of them
at a particular event, we end up re-writing them with the newer
version of OSGeo-Live for the next event. Not really an economically
sound model.
* Setting up something like a Raspberry Pi with OSGeo-Live.
Possibly for resale, certainly as a download for other to install.
* Setting up a Cloud (OSGE Certified?!) version of OSGe-Live
* As has been mentioned before, an application picker for
installation of software would go a long ways.
* There’s a bit of effort required for this one I’ll grant you,
but it would certainly go along was toward promoting OSGeo.
* Cloud service(s) version of OSGeo.
* Setting up a Docker . . .
Well you get the idea, if your going to pay for something, may as
well go for broke. You end up with a one stop shop and possibly a
container of sorts for other projects to add in their own dedicated
versions of the same sort of devices/services.
Are you volunteering to implement any of the above?
These are good suggestions, but without people to do the work it will
never materialize.
OSGeo-Live is understaffed as it is, see also:
