Does anyone have experience or suggestions in getting OSGeo packages
(ideally OSGeo-Live) working as a remote desktop from a cloud
platform?

As per Chris Barnett's emails, the FOSS4G 2017 would like to get it
working for the global FOSS4G.

issues with this and think it would be very useful to draw
on your
collective knowledge and experience. What would be the best/most
appropriate way to go about this?

remote access to the desktop I’ve been using xrdp and
tigervnc. This
also looks like an interesting option:
http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/
, as it allows
remote access via
the browser.

I think it would be fantastic if a cloud version could be reused
beyond FOSS4G. Something like a docker image could be a nice
solution,
as it would be portable across many cloud providers and
could also be
installed locally.

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Asia 2017

Hi List,
we completed FOSS4G Asia 2017 on 29 Jan 2017.
The last day was for, 'Code Challenge and Code Sprint'.
This is the 1st time OSGeo India fathomed un-charted waters
and are happy to have generated interest and people spent -6-
hours coding and understanding the design expected.
