Scott, We have started the build cycle for our next OSGeo-Live release, and I'm interested to know whether we should be including XCSoar on it, and if so, which version (noting that we are space constrained).
Press release here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_11 What is the status of your android version? Is it stable enough yet? We haven't packaged android apps on the OSGeo-Live DVD yet, but there is a strong interest in Open Source mobile apps, and I think it would be a valuable to have the android apps included if they work ok. Questions I have is: * I assume we'd need to include an android emulator? * How much space will an android emulator add to the OSGeo-Live? * Will an android emulator running inside a virtual machine, or booted in Live mode be fast enough to be usable?
