I just wanted to bump this topic. I believe that producing good quality integrated distributions of OSGeo binary software for a major user platforms is strategically important for OSGeo and would be worth an investment of moderate amounts of money to promote. For me two packaging efforts stick out, though I might be biased. 1) OSGeo4W - I think the Windows environment is (still?) very important and OSGeo4W is a credible community effort to satisfy it that could benefit from more involvement, polish and a broader package set. 2) Debian/Ubuntu/LiveDVD - I believe that Ubuntu is today the dominant desktop/server linux system and that the packaging efforts of the DebianGIS, UbuntuGIS and LiveDVD groups build on one another and provide high impact. If board members or community members see high impact and reasonably priced opportunities to extend these efforts with OSGeo money I hope they will come forward with them. I'd also like to see us do more on the OSGeo web site, with case studies, etc to promote these package suites in a manner appropriate to their level of readiness. I also think the MacOS environment is very important but I'm not entirely clear on the best way of addressing that. Good ideas on this aspect are also welcome.
