i started to try the script on ubuntu9.10 some packages get updates like gdal geos and others nut i agree this think are easy to fix. unlucky my vm has no user = user and is 64 bit so i cant produce yet a working report (again .. i know, sorry .. but 64bit is too fast :-P ) i'll try from a fresh 32 bit using the right settings "user:user" > > the final download for the last ISO was 3.6 GB which leaves > us with about 700mb for more geodata and apps.

So we can have beautifull project to load on the fly to demostrate application's capability... and not at least, having common data and "similar project-file" can also give us a method to "evaluate" (just like a "benchmark") the different application. (maybe an final report sounds great ... just like the osgeo-benchmark-team has did for the web-gis rendering at foss4g 2009.) > >> I believe we were successful because: >> * We reduced the barrier of entry and offered high value >> for projects wanting to join.

Massimo P.S. .. again on data, we can also pay attention to "case study" we can propone in the project files. i means we can focus our attention on topic that are "intersting, up to date and dedicated to noble scopes" .. see climate changes, earth resources , migration, war, marine biodiversity, whater managment ... and so on_______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo
