Hi All

some ideas about the osgeo's live gis project, i'd like to know your opinion 
about :

- can we fix a date to start the up-to date work needed for the install scripts 
to runs on unbuntu 9.10 ?

- what about adding different architecture e.g. to have install scripts running 
on "i386, x86_64, ppc" ?

- can we contact the local chapter's asking for a "tester",  so we can try to 
adapt the scripts to run on different localization ?
  |--  what do you think to add a directory in the svn tree : "localization" 
and subdir for different language/local-chapters ... us, en, fr, it, de, ... ?

- linux and geoscience .. i'd like the idea to have on a "dedicated" osgeo live 
project, not only speciphic "geo" sw, i agree the we are on Osgeo, but adding 
other science sw (like plotting tools, statistic and symbolic calculus sw .. 
etc ... ) can be a cool start point for an live project dedicated to an 
"educational" release  (in this case ,"educational-release", i vote to 
eliminate the mac and win installer and give more focus (and space) on new sw, 
tutorial data and documentation)


p.s.
Unlucky i'm having problems to learn how to make .deb for an official debian 
package 
.. i'd like the idea the osgeo live project will works for both distro "ubuntu 
and debian-sid"
(i'm avaiable to spend my time to convert all the script from ubuntu to debian, 
i did a lot of work on this direction) 
My problem are related to the debian rules file and how to hndle the 
dependence. 
You know ... "make a debian official package" is not so easy.
i'm really intersted to learn more about packaging an "axample case" on how to 
make .deb for a complex sw like "grass, gdal, qgis" can give me a great help.
i'm sure .. from a complex example it is possible to learn a lot of thinks. 


thanks,

Massimo.
