Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2009 to reach those who cannot attend
Maning, Massimo, Alex, Ravi, Thank you all for your kinds offers of help with the LiveDVD. This is greatly appreciated, will be very valuable, and will also make space for the overly committed FOSS4G local organising committee to focus on the other aspects of the FOSS4G conference. As I see it, this is what needs to be done: 1. Anyone who is interested, please subscribe to the live-dvd email list, where we can continue the rest of this discussion. http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo The wiki associated with this project is at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Live_DVD and http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc 2. We need someone who can continually keep track of the status of the LiveDVD. Determine what it contains, what package versions are on it, how much space is being used, what should and should not be on it etc. This data should be kept up to date in this wiki: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Live_DVD 2b. Revise the LiveDVD schedule, and then track to it. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Schedule 3. The LiveDVD needs to be tested, and make sure that the current, and any future packages all work together without impacting each other. Any issues found need to be tracked in the issue tracker. 4. Someone needs to contact all interested parties for the LiveDVD, and encourage them to provide data or software, or configurations, etc for the LiveDVD. This includes: * Workshop and tutorial authors who may want to hand out a DVD at the conference. * OSGeo projects already on the LiveDVD, or who want to get on the DVD * UbuntuGIS, DebianGIS, GISVM, OSGeo4W packaging projects, which have significant synergies with the LiveDVD * And any other people who want to help out. 5. Add what ever new packages, linux software, windows installers, etc to the LiveDVD. This is the technical grunt work. Note that the packaging projects like DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS are quite robust, and have been very helpful in getting new people started with packaging, and many of these people are also on the LiveDVD email list. Welcome aboard. I suggest that any volunteers join the live-demo email list, and respond to this email suggesting how you might want to help. Cameron Shorter, FOSS4G chair. Ravi wrote: Hi, volunteer: Happy to note a good discussion. I can help in seeing the draft of workshops/Labs that deal with Vector-GIS and GIS that focuses on Geoscience. Can help in advising where necessary, to tune the material such that those multitudes not attending the event can equally use the material with ease.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2009 to reach those who cannot attend
the relative if statment to check the module presence. after this littlle hack i have remastersys semi-working on sidux too. the live-dvd produced has a working gis software (also 3d with ossimplanet) but unluky the script fails to configure the network (resolvconf problems) and it has missed the install to hd tools. (i'm subsribed to the remastersys forum and i'm tring to get support about this problem) in short word : using debian or ubuntu i'm not able to have a really platform independent 3d environment but i have an installable live-dvd while on sidux i have all working in live-mode except to the resolvconf-dhcp problem (i'll meet a server-mantainers in the next days to face out this problem) again the live is not yet installable on HD (i'm tring to solve this on the remastersys forum). 5. Add what ever new packages, linux software, windows installers, etc to the LiveDVD. This is the technical grunt work. Note that the packaging projects like DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS are quite robust, and have been very helpful in getting new people started with packaging, and many of these people are also on the LiveDVD email list. i've discuss about the osgeo live-dvd project on our local-chapter list, we'll be avaiable to produce a local dataset and localized documents. my idea is to use as example data a common dataset based on global data + a localized dataset based on local-free data if avaiable. however we need a common tutorial/how-to workshop files to follow as guide-line for the local chapters. just a littel consideration maybe is is obviouse, i'm tring the variouse .iso produced and is my idea that the live.iso works really more fast if it is booted in a virtualbox machine i do some test on the live.iso, i find that running it in a VirtualBox Machine, it is really fast rather than a boot from cd. thanks to read this long-confuse mail and for any feedback.
