Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo-Live 9.0 Released

15 September 2014

Version 9.0 of the OSGeo-Live GIS software collection 
has been released, featuring over 50 open source, standards compliant 
geospatial applications.

Release Highlights

64 bit architecture support
We are now providing both 32 and 64 bit architecture support. The Virtual 
Machine version has moved to 64 bit architecture.

Moved to Git
We have moved from subversion to git for 
our version system.

Debian packaging
We have steadily been moving more of our projects to .deb 
packaging, which makes it easier to install 
programs on debian based systems such as OSGeo-Live, and allows application of 
post-release 
fixes 
if required.

Applications
32 geospatial programs have been updated to newer versions.
About OSGeo-Live

Machine, pre-installed with robust open source geospatial software, which can 
be trialled without installing anything. It includes:

  *   Over 50 quality geospatial Open Source applications installed and 
pre-configured
  *   Free world maps and sample datasets
  *   Project Overview and step-by-step Quickstart for each application

Thanks Charlie for this. It will be really helpful if Venka and others who are 
at the Seoul meeting can summarize the meeting outcomes in the wiki, so we all 
(even those who were not at Seoul meeting) can get updated and follow up  
actions. Many thanks.
