Re: [OSGeoLive] Help needed to get info. on suppliers for OSGeoLive11.0 USBs?

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info.  My initial plan was to get OSGeo Live 11.0 DVDs or USBs 
send for British Council workshop on the Strengthening Food Security through 
Integrated Earth Observations & Ecological Assessments of Ecosystem Services in 
Kenya next week.  But as I recieived info from the list  that DVDs are no 
longer best option and no details on OSGeo Live USB suppliers , I couldn’t 
arrange this. As it is now too late to arrange for this workshop, let us plan 
for the future .

I am aiming to get colleagues in GODAN to support my request  for sending OSGeo 
Live USBs for  AgriGIS workshops globally in the future, so it is good timing 
to plan ideas to learn details and  have a contact point so I can get quotes 
and order these as needed. I will email you and Astrid separately for this. 
Thanks .

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Suchith --  from the OSGeoLive side, Astrid and I are thinking
about this now, and possibly others.. The USB storage devices are
plentiful and increasing in capacity. Shopping is always a matter for
several factors, like price, shipping and return policy.

  The hard part is.. that the USB device "boot" capabilities are not
at all as reliable as the DVD form factor used to be.
In Boston, we shipped a storage device with a VirtualMachine disk
image, and not as 'bootable'.

  What is your time frame for purchasing ?  We can go to private mail
or IRC with the details if is it convenient.
  best regards from Berkeley, California

Hi Suchith,

For Foss4g Bonn we had the logos printed of OSGeo Live and OSGeo on
either side of the USB stick. A little more costly, but worthwhile for
our image. With the new logos developed it would provide a great
opportunity to use them this way.

A Dutch supplier and Astrid and a team in Bonn put the files unto them

Re: [Live-demo] [OSGeo-UK] Help needed to get info. on OSGeoLive 11.0 artwork?

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Johan, Cameron for confirming this. I will inform the supplier on this . 
I will need to find which supplier can provide bulk OSGeo Live USBs. If anyone 
has ideas of reliable USB suppliers for OSGeo Live please let me know and also 
update in the documentation so those interested to procure these can contact 
them. 

I believe OSGeo Live is a great resource for our outreach aims and I am 
determined to get this to new communities. For example, many in the Agriculture 
community who use GIS are not even aware of this resource. I am in the process 
of adding the links of key OSGeo resources in GODAN and other key Agriculture 
community websites , so we get more outreach and impact. We need to reach out 
and engage with new communities proactively.

Thank you everyone for your prompt help and advice on this.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Johan's right, I haven't heard of anyone printing OSGeo-Live DVDs for a
few years now. OSGeo-Live is either being run in a Virtual Machine or
from a USB.

(We probably should be updating our documentation to reflect this).

Hi Suchith,

It took a while for me to dig out this information, but this is the company 
that we used for FOSS4G 2013:

http://www.vponline.co.uk/quote.html
Total cost for 800 units - DVD - in clear plastic wallet
* Inkjet colour = £290
* Inject colour with waterproof coating = £520
* Thermal colour = £636

For reliable USB drives, at Astun we use a company called USB2U and we go for 
this model:

Twister USB 3.0 Flash Drive 8GB - White

These seem to come in at around £4.12 per item but I don't know how many we buy 
at a time to get that rate.

Hope that helps

Hi all,

This is a request for help. I am discussing ideas with GODAN colleagues on how 
to expand ideas for AgriGIS Capacity Development and I have put forward 
suggestion to provide OSGeo Live USBs/DVDs for the training programs etc. This 
will ensure the participants have in addition to the training all the free and 
open geo tools and sample open geodata to take away and be empowered.

I remember some years back for OSGIS conferences in Nottingham, I arranged 
OSGeoLive DVDs but I don’t now remember details of the suppliers. Could I 
request if you have contacts of reliable suppliers (ideally in the UK), that I 
can contact to get quotes for bulk suppliers on the price of the flash drives 
(8GB) and DVDs with  OSGeoLive and GODAN logos and all content loaded (download 
from https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html  )  and checked for  all USBs/DVDs 
supplied.

I hope once we do this for few training programs we will be able to expand the 
idea for the future. Please email me at 
suchith.an...@godan.info<mailto:suchith.an...@godan.info><mailto:suchith.an...@godan.info<mailto:suchith.an...@godan.info>>
the contact details of USB/DVD suppliers who can do this, so I can request 
quotes. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suchith - greetings from berkeley, california

  For convenience of recording download statistics, and perhaps also
reliability of uptime, OSGeo-Live dot-iso is available only from the
SourceForge page [0]

[0]  https://sourceforge.net/projects/osgeo-live/files/11.0/

  The 32-bit build is used occasionally, but not recommended.
Further, dot-iso-dot-md5 is only a short file showing a checksum on the
valid image. That leaves only  the correct 64-bit dot-iso file  [1]

[1]  osgeo-live-11.0-amd64.iso2017-08-02   3.9 GB

  I trust that answers your vendors question.

These seem to come in at around £4.12 per item but I don't know how
many we buy at a time to get that rate.

Hope that helps

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Jo, all,

Many thanks for the contacts for this. I have contacted the DVD supplier for 
this and to download from https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html and got query 
back "The link has multi options for downloading ISO files and it's not 100% 
clear what link I should use for the ISO"

Could someone  help me provide the correct link, so I can reply to the supplier 
so they can download the correct version . Thanks.

Best wishes,

Hi Suchith,

It took a while for me to dig out this information, but this is the company 
that we used for FOSS4G 2013:

http://www.vponline.co.uk/quote.html
Total cost for 800 units - DVD - in clear plastic wallet
* Inkjet colour = £290
* Inject colour with waterproof coating = £520

For reliable USB drives, at Astun we use a company called USB2U and we go for

Re: [Live-demo] Mass production of OSGeo Live USB - any SMEs providing this ?

[Suchith Anand]

OSGeo Live is one of the excellent success stories of OSGeo and it is important 
as a community we need to pool our ideas/resources for not only keeping 
building upon this but expanding for the future. Hence i put this in the wider 
lists to stimulate ideas. For example at the recent RDA meetings in Barcelona , 
i started pushing for getting sponsors to fund dedicate staff time for OSGeo 
Live educational materials for UN and other training/capacity development needs 
 [1] and i will keep pushing this through all my contacts .

The ideas put by Brian are excellent for the industry/SME ecosystem of OSGeo to 
start exploring and expanding. For example Cloud service(s) version of OSGeo. 
Time for online version of QGIS has come (it will be better than Arcgisonline 
or other properitery ones). QGISOnline will be a true open platform .

Are you volunteering to implement any of the above?

These are good suggestions, but without people to do the work it will
never materialize.

[Suchith Anand]

I would like to also support the idea that it is convenient to have someone 
(ideally many) to do the "mass production" of the OSGeo Live USBs esp for  
training and education programs globally . Are there any SMEs doing this? If 
not, this is a great opportunity for the SMEs in the OSGeo ecosystem to move in 
and expand.

Hi Cameron,

Many thanks for this. I can see the synergies of this activity for the

Science training needs of various academic and international organisations will

sustainable.  I request all who have contacts with key organisations to also

Next week I'll send details about it and I'll put an announcement on the wiki

Hi Maria, all,

I'd be interested to hear about ideas proposed to be taken into this UN 
meeting, and also to propose some ideas.


I've dug back through the UN email list and found Maria's last report (which 
was great) and copied below. Has there been any progress on ideas reported from 
that report?


Speaking as a member of the OSGeo-Live project, I think there is great 
potential to lever some of the investment we have put into OSGeo-Live to take 
into the UN and Geo4All context.

In particular, OSGeo-Live provides a stable platform from which training 
material can be built on top of, as proved by its wide use at many OSGeo and 
FOSS4G workshops.

It taps into contributors form the many OSGeo-Live projects to help create and 
maintain content.

It taps into translators for translating content.

It provides a stamp of quality.

And it provides a distribution pipeline.


I'd be keen to open a conversation within the UN context about this.


Warm regards, Cameron Shorter

UN Open GIS proceeds speedily and some pieces of solution were presented both

Moreover Sanghee Shin, one of our Directors,  has been nominated Chair of the

potential to lever some of the investment we have put into OSGeo-Live to take 
into the UN and Geo4All context.

In particular, OSGeo-Live provides a stable platform from which training 
material can be built on top of, as proved by its wide use at many OSGeo and 
FOSS4G workshops.

It taps into contributors form the many OSGeo-Live projects to help create and 
maintain content.

It taps into translators for translating content.

It provides a stamp of quality.

And it provides a distribution pipeline.


I'd be keen to open a conversation within the UN context about this.


Warm regards, Cameron Shorter

Dear All

there will be a meeting of UN OpenGIS in Brindisi the 27 April 2017 at the 
UNGSC and I will be invited to attend. If there are no objections I plan to go 
there. There is a budget provided by the Board for such events.

As I want to fix the flight as soon as possible (avoiding expensive flights), I 
ask if there are some objections, to reply as soon as possible and in any case 
before March 17th.

Many thanks and best regards,

Dear All

I'm just back from the 2nd Workshop of UN Open GIS Initiative, which was 
organized within a more general Symposium about Technology in Peacekeeping. 
This choice was excellent because gave  the possibility of presenting OSGeo and 
GeoForAll to a broader audience.

UN Open GIS proceeds speedily and some pieces of solution were presented both 
by the Korean and Boundless teams.

Moreover Sanghee Shin, one of our Directors,  has been nominated Chair of the 
Technical Advisory Group.

In few words, the Workshop was intense, tiring but very positive.

We concluded  with a webinar which will be available within the GeoForAll 
Series (thanks to Rafael Moreno and David Alvarez from ASPRS).

Below a more detailed report.

Updates on UN Open GIS Initiative
 From 7 to 11 November 2016 the Third International Partnership for
Technology in Peacekeeping Symposium, hosted by the United Nations
Department of Field Support (DFS) in cooperation with the Seoul
Metropolitan Government, was held in Seoul, Republic of Korea at the
Seoul City Hall.
The Symposium brought together a wide range of actors to explore
collaborative partnerships and projects to enhance information and
communications technology (ICT) efforts in the following targeted areas:
   *   Geospatial Information and Situational Awareness
   *   Protection Technologies: Sensors, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
   *   Innovation in Information and Communications Technologies

OSGeo was invited to the Symposium as one of the partners of the project
UN Open GIS. Maria Brovelli attended the meeting on behalf both of the
OSGeo UN Committee and GeoForAll (Educational outreach of OSGeo).

UN Open GIS Initiative is a project aiming at identifying and developing
open source geospatial software and services that meets the requirements
of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission
partners including partner nations, technology developed by contributing
countries, international organizations, academia, NGO’s, private sector.

The members of the UN Open GIS Initiative are composed of:

   *   Contributors: any organization who agrees with the objectives of
the UN Open GIS and actively contributes to the UN Open GIS Initiative
in terms of financial, materials, solutions, technologies, or human
resources. The Contributor membership shall be decided by the Strategic
Board.
   *   Observers: any individual person or organization who agree with
the objectives of the UN Open GIS and participate in the UN Open GIS
Initiative activity. The Observer membership shall be granted by the

Also a simple idea to get more volunteers for the documentation, translation is 
that each lab send a personalised message to thier students introducing OSGeo 
live and welcoming volunteers for documentation extention, translators etc.

Cameron - if you can send a draft mail for this (highlighting key projects that 
need this urgently) and we will get all our lab coordinators to send this out 
through thier university/department networks. Thanks.

Hi Cameron,

Thanks for the info. This is a good idea to involve Geo4All labs in the testing 
aspects. We have a good network of real multi disciplinary users who are 
experts in thier respective fields as well as at different levels (from 
professors to students), so an ideal mix to test and provide feedbacks.

Good idea to include a brief description of OSGeo to the OSGeo-Live home page. 
If you could mention  Geo4All and provide a link it will be great .

Geo4All community - Please provide your feedbacks, inputs on this suggestion. 
May be this is also the time to get one of the labs volunteer for "Software of 
the month" section that we are planning for the Geo4All monthly newsletter 
highlighting one of 50+ OSGeolive projects each month. Any labs willing to 
volunteer for this, please let me or Nikos know. It will be greatly appreciated.

All ideas welcome.

Hi Suchith,

It is great to see such uptake of OSGeo-Live from the Geo4All community, and 
you are right, there is potential for cross advertising between projects.

We discussed this and your request in our OSGeo-Live weekly meeting today.

One of our weaknesses in the OSGeo-Live team is our ability to continuously 
keep the project maintained, current, and TESTED. Testing is something that the 
Geo4All community could help us with, because as users you are the experts we 
need feedback from users to confirm projects work as expected.


To date, OSGeo-Live has added logos to our webpages for organisations and 
communities who have contributed something tangible (and usually sustained) 
toward OSGeo-Live development. If the Geo4All could coordinate something 
similar, (maybe in the form of sustained testing resources, or extensions to 
documentation), then it would be appropriate to add a Geo4All logo to 
OSGeo-Live.


That said, we do think it would make sense to include a brief (one or two 
sentence) description of OSGeo to the OSGeo-Live home page. This might include 
a mention of Geo4All.

Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Marc,

Great to hear you are thinking ahead regarding printing OSGeo-Live. Our image 
is scheduled to be ready to print 1 August [1], although it is good to plan for 
printing ahead of time.

Running a USB print run is described here: [2].  Marc, do you know how many 
USBs you would like printed?

All, I wonder if there is someone heading to FOSS4G who would like to help Marc 
coordinate a print run?

Hi Cameron et al,

With FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn looming and me preparing our OSGeo-booth my question

- who takes care of printing the CD's/USB sticks for the booth?

If I know which version we want to publish, where I can download this, I can 
have it printed perhaps locally and bring it to the venue.

Hopefully, this way we can avoid a last minute scamble (next to booth 
preparation I am also busy with LOC-work, so cannot vouch that last minute 
scrambles work out well).

OSGeo-Live 10.0 beta1 is ready for download at [1]. We're looking for testing 
applications and updating docs and translations.

In particular, we need help to:

  1.  Check if any new features need to be added to Project Overviews
  2.  Run Quickstarts and verify they work as described. Please join us on 
irc://freenode.net#osgeolive this weekend, 2 & 3 July 
2016, for our testing sprint.
  3.  Update review status in our spreadsheet [2]. (It really helps us know if 
an application has been reviewed, and by who).
  4.  Translate docs that have been updated.
  5.  OSGeo-Live is scheduled to be the default installation at FOSS4G 2016 
workshops. We strongly urge all workshop leaders to test OSGeo-Live now and 
provide feedback, while there is still time to tweak anything required for the 
workshop.

Re: [Live-demo] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Ideas/inputs for having a cloud service that runs the OSGeo-Live VM

[Suchith Anand]

btw on a rough estimate i would think there are atleast over 50 hands on 
workshops each year in various FOSS4G conferences (global, regional, local) 
plus 100s of  geoeducation workshops/ training events globally happening in 
various universities/training etc which will find this useful. So it will be of 
the benefit  for the whole OSGeo community. But it will need some dedicated 
volunteers to invest their time and efforts to make this happen.

Hi Angelos,

May i suggest that you goahead and explore the option 1 that you suggested. As 
you are knowledgeable and have the expertise on this, please lead this  and 
contact SAC to explore ideas/options to move these ideas forward.

Thank you again for coming forward and volunteering your time and efforts for 
this. I believe this will be a big benefit for our education efforts and also 
the wider community in the future. Esp .for universities and education globally 
, there is definitely help in  easily organising the practical/tutorial 
sessions  . This will also help in our aim to get more universities start 
teaching using OSGeo software. Also it will be useful  for those running OSGeo 
workshops/training at events (not just FOSS4G events)  etc can make use of this 
service.

Best wishes,

Hi Toni,

For universities and education globally , there is definitely big need/demand 
for OSGeo-Live cloud service for easily organising the practical/tutorial 
sessions  . This is only going to increase rapidly as more universities start 
teaching using OSGeo software. Also for those running MOOC programs in 
Geospatial Science, this will be great benefit (esp. for scalability).  Also it 
will be useful  for those running OSGeo workshops/training at events (not just

Sorry for being so late to the discussion.

Since we are a distance university, for us is very important a cloud service. 
Although OsGeoLive can be downloaded by students, sometimes we preferred to 
prepare the machine by ourselves in order all the students have exactly the 
same.
We tested virtual machines distributed, but they were too heavy for some 
students (we have students in very remote zones). Then we created an Amazon 
virtual machine with some applications of OsGEO Live, but it was worse, since 
it was too slow.

Unfortunately, now our postgraduate is closed and will not be able to test 
these new tools with students.

Nonetheless, would be grate  to have the OSGeo-Llive directly hosted in AWS to

Sure. I am ccing both the Education community and OSGeo live communities in

To give some background, we now have OSGeo Live being used not only for running 
workshops in FOSS4G conferences but in so many training 
programs/workshops/tutorials around the world. It is also a key resource for 
geoeducation. So to make it more easy and scaleable for organising and running

Hi Suchith,
Good idea. Would it be ok if we discuss on a public email list? Probably
osgeo-live list, or education list.
Part of the success would come from people collating content for such a
course (which could be based on OSGeo-Live Quickstarts).

Re: [Live-demo] [SoC] Report 1 - Integration of geospatial OSS in educational notebooks

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Massimo. To give you some background. Few years back, i had some initial 
discussions with folks in the Raspberry Pi Foundation (before they became 
famous :))  to explore ideas on how we can use Raspberry Pi  
https://www.raspberrypi.org/ for teaching Spatial Programming in Schools. The 
inspiration befind this was the successful gvSIG Batovi program of using OLPC 
which helped enable spatial learning for primary and secondary school students 
across Uruguay. So the idea was that with internet reach increasing  and with  
low cost hardware , it will help enable schools in poor countires to also teach 
computer science and programming to thier students. There is also need to 
develop teacher training programs to support this.

But i couldnt follow up these discussions with Raspberry Pi but i think with 
your project and work being done by Franz-Josef and others , it might be a good 
opportunity to get ideas on how we can make use of low cost ways for enabling 
geoeducation opportunities which will benifit the poorest schools in our planet.

Suchith,

thanks for fwd the mail to the OSGeo labs lists, i’ll keep the list up to date 
for the next report.
About IOT .. I’ve access to some devices running armhf linux kernels (UDOO [1]) 
and I’ll join the  IOT workshop at FOSS4G EU.
Happy to collaborate on some geo-smart project ;)

Integration of geospatial OSS in educational notebooks
Week 1 report

What have I completed this week?

I made a fork of the OSGeo Ipython Notebook repository and start to refactoring 
its entire structure. The GSOC code will have its own directory on the github 
repository.
Code, documentation and report will be stored entirely on github. For this week 
I re-worked the directory structure for the entire repository as follow:

*   IPython_notebooks (root directory)
   *   OSGeo-live (directory already in use from osgeo-live)
  *   OSGeo_project_name (directory containing notebooks for a specific 
project (i.e. GRASS, FIONA, IRIS) this directory is not part of GSOC 2015 and 
is the place where other developers can store their own notebooks to be used 
during workshop/tutorial/quickstart etc )
   *   osgeolive-gsoc-2015
  *   Report (directory where to store reports in the form of notebooks)
  *   Notebooks (main directory of this GSOC project: Integration of 
geospatial OSS in educational notebooks)
  *   osgeolive (python library to be used as set of utility functions for 
the educational notebooks )

Note:
The above structure is not definitive.

What am I going to achieve next week?


*   Continue to work on the directory structure for the repository
*   Choose a main theme (use-case) which will drive the development of most of 
the educational notebooks:
   *   Most of the work for next week will be in defining a coherent outline 
structure, developed in more details based on a use-case. I will identify an 
area and a relevant use case and develop each educational notebooks around it. 
This way i can connect all the dots (the topics) in an end-to-end workflow from 
raw data (I/O topic) to a final product (Web-GIS tool as service for end-user)
*   Finish a first draft of the outline to be presented to my mentors and to 
the list

Hi Nikos,

This is a great idea.  Newsletter will be a good benifit to the community. If 
you or anyone in the community wish to take this initiative, it will be great. 

In fact, all our email archives are  available publically at  
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ica-osgeo-labs/  so it just need someone with 
some editorial skills to bring together key items and publish as a newsletter 
for the community. I am sure once we start, we can build upon this with 
feedbacks/inputs from others, use the same template for monthly newsletters 
etc. Just need a lead editor for this. Please come forward if anyone can help 
with this.

convenient to look for the past emails to find out who is doing what or what

What do you think about publishing a Newsletter for the actions and news of

Hi Jorge, others,
One thing which would be very valuable would be to align development of GIS
training material with the OSGeo-Live build process. Probably incorporate
training material in the documentation at:
http://live.osgeo.org

This could be collaboratively developed and continually updated by both
project teams, training institutes, and our existing teams of translators.

Jorge, it looks like you have a good start on this. I'd be interested to see
how we could link with OSGeo-Live.

 I've created http://mapmaking.info/ to setup the course. I've just
 created contents for chinese students, using chinese data (but I
 didn't had time to write it in mandarim, so it is still in english).
 Now I'm translating the course to portuguese, using data from Portugal.

 My suggestion is to use administrative data for some global source like:
 * http://www.gadm.org/
 * http://gdem.ersdac.jspacesystems.or.jp/
 * OSM planet extracts

 Every student would use the same technologies, the same algoritms, but
 using data that has some meaning for them. Those interested in
 teaching the course to a new community would have to translate the
 contents and to provide the equivalent datasets related with the
 community.

 We already have tons of open source software available in different
 languagues and amazing data from all around the globe. It is time to
 create powerful contens Think globally adapted to local learning
 communities act locally.

 As a minor note, whenever possible, we should align our syllabus with
 the BoK, despite web gis being the weakest BoK topic.

Would you consider OpenSensorHub mature enough to be considered?

All,

I thought the GeoForAll community might be interested in tracking a new FOSS4G 
project named OpenSensorHub 
(www.opensensorhub.orghttp://www.opensensorhub.org; 
https://github.com/sensiasoft/sensorhub).  It is a brand new implementation of 
the Open Geospatial Consortium Sensor Web Enablement (OGC SWE) architecture in 
Jetty, which can be deployed on Androids, ARM processing boards, and in the 
Cloud.  It is the creation of Dr. Mike Botts (creator of SensorML), Alex Robin, 
and their team.  Mike and Alex have, for years, maintained the reference 
implementation for the OGC SWE architecture in the open source, but never as a 
community project.  This has now changed.  So, if you are interested in mashing 
up geospatial sensors of all kinds into your geospatial applications at your 
GeoForAll labs, this might be of interest to you.  Also, if you are interested 
in becoming a core contributor, the links are on the page.

I think that this is a pretty cool evolution in OGC SWE and in how we think 
about mainstream open source geo.

Re: [Live-demo] Please support the International Map Year

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Cameron for this OSGeo Live support. We will aim to use this IMY 
opportunity to encourage conference organisors in geospatial worldwide to give 
out OSGeo Live DVDs to their delegates. If we can get the OSGeo Live artwork to 
include IMY logo it will help a lot.  I am also thinking of ideas of how we can 
use this opportunity to reach out to  school teachers as part of Train the 
Trainers . Currently most geospatial conferences in education that we are 
involved are  Higher Education focus . I would welcome ideas on how we can 
reach out to school teachers as then it will have a long term impact.

For example, i will try to use AGILE contacts to explore if we can give OSGeo 
Live DVDs through GEOTHNK http://www.geothnk.eu/index.php/en/  where they have 
a teacher training aspect for helping build a spatially thinking society.

If any of you have any other ideas let me know. For example, maybe Ela through  
GIS for Schools initiative , Sergio through gvSIG Batovi and others can all 
share their ideas on this and we can plan . 

The International Map Year is a great opportunity to get our education message 
across to policy makers, educators and the wider society , so i request all of 
you for your active support and participation.

Suchith

Brian- it will be really helpful if the artwork can help with this and include 
IMY logo. We can then point the artwork url to conference organisers and those 
running educational events to use for printing their DVDs. Many thanks.

 webpage as related activities.
 2. We have a plan to distribute OSGeo Live DVD at the event also. We’ll 
 explore the possibility whether we could put the IMY logo in the DVDs.
 3. If any person from ICA could give a talk about IMY at FOSS4G 2015, that

 4. Just like previous FOSS4G, there will be Map Competition 
 (http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/map-gallery/) and the program will be led

Hi Lluís, Cameron,

It is an excellent idea to setup a testimony wiki page for OSGeo-Live. Also, 
once you setup the testimonial wiki page, others (for example Barend 
Köbbenhttp://kartoweb.itc.nl/kobben/ ran successful workshops using OSGeo 
Live USB http://kartoweb.itc.nl/kobben/SOMAP-OSGEO-workshop/  ) can also 
contribute and it will become a good source for those who are new to get a 
quick understanding.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Lluís and all Girona 
colleagues for their excellent Open GIS summer school initiative which is now 
in its successful fifth year. It not only helped train a new generation of

universities to follow up on this idea . We now have universities in China, 
India and other countries now wishing to replicate this model which is the best 
proof of its real impact.

Thanks Lluis, your description is very comprehensive, and a valuable, unbiased 
summary of OSGeo-Live's strengths and weaknesses in a teaching environment.

I expect this summary will be something that others will want to reference in 
future, and as such, I would like to copy it into a public location.
I'm thinking that we should either set up a testimony wiki page, or include 
testimonies in our existing history page. (I'm currently erring toward adding 
this testimony into the history page).

Does this make sense?

[Suchith Anand]

, this is more easy to handle than in an online course 
but with a little bit of patience and positive attitude, this is not a barrier.

In summary, using OSGeo-Live virtual disk has a double positive result: 
discovering and working with foss4g, as well as discovering a new OS.

Thanks to all the OSGeo-Live crew for their work and passion. Good job!

Hi Cameron, we aren't using it (right now), but it *has* been discussed. 
Students will have access to their own virtual machine during the course, so 
using the OSGeo-Live image is an option. Part of the course involves installing 
some of the required apps, so we weren't sure if we wanted to go with the 
pre-installed stuff on OSGeo-Live... having said that, I guess we could work 
with a modified version. Any thoughts on this? Additionally, we will be 
*telling* students about OSGeo-Live, and they will leave with that as a

Hi Suchith,
Will this course make use of OSGeo-Live? If so I'd be keen to add the details 
to our history page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History

Keeping track of how OSGeo-Live is used provides the motivation and business 
justifications people and organisations use to justify contributing to 
OSGeo-Live.

I'd also like to hear from any others making use of OSGeo-Live such that we can 
add your use to this page.

Dear all,

we will be offering a five day professional training course on FOSS GIS at 
Hunter college, NYC, the first week of August: http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/ce/gis

Feel free to forward the course description below to potential participants.

Best,

FREE AND OPEN SOURCE GIS

August 4 to August 8, 2014, 9 AM to 5 PM

The Department of Geography at Hunter College of the City University of New 
York and Hunter Continuing Education are offering a five day professional 
course in Free and Open Source GIS. This five day course will span the entire 
range of GIS data capture, management, analysis, and visualization of 
geographic information using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). These 
different elements of the GIS workflow will be discussed over the first four 
days and will then be applied in a final project completed on Friday. The 
course will combine lectures with hands-on sessions where participants will 
work with different free and open source GIS packages. Since we expect 
participants from many different organizations in the tri-state area, this 
training course also presents an excellent networking opportunity.

The course is designed for experienced GIS users who want to broaden their 
skill set with expertise in the ever-growing world of free and open source GIS. 
Participants are expected to have a technical background and an interest in 
developing comprehensive workflows using multiple software components. While we 
do not require any programming experience, we will be working on the command 
line and developing some small scripts. Participants should be eager to master 
these valuable skills.

Instructors

Advanced Research of Spatial Information (CARSI Lab) and Assistant Professors 
for Geographic Information Science in the Department of Geography at Hunter 
College ‐ CUNY.

Carsonhttp://carsonfarmer.com/ has been working with open source GIS 
projects, including as core developer for QGIS, since 2007. His research 
interests revolve around movements and flows of individuals, information, and 
commodities within urban environments, and the development and implementation 
of novel spatial analysis methods and software aimed at characterizing these 
flows.

Carstenhttp://carsten.io/ has extensive experience in projects around open 
data and the exchange of geographic information, both in international research 
projects and as a consultant. His research interests are in the areas of 
information integration, volunteered geographic information, emergency 
management, and collaborative and participatoryGIS.

Both instructors will be present for the duration of the course to support the 
participants in the hands-on exercises.

Location, registration and fees
The course will be held at the Department of Geography's computer lab in the 
Hunter North building at Lexington and 68th Street, Manhattan. Registration fee 
for this course is $1800 and includes access to computers and server space to 
run the exercises.

Re: [Live-demo] We think we can release OSGeoLive 6.0 two weeks early (For OSGIS) - with some help

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Cameron and all.

Also for OSGIS 2012, we are running a workshop on 4th September  foccused on 
the Educational use of OSGeo Live , which aims to review the current state of 
how OSGeo and other free geospatial software and datasets are used in 
Universities, mainly in educational contexts, and discuss how the software 
could be better made advantage of especially by using the OSGeo Live. The 
workshop consists of invited talks and presentations selected from this call as 
well as of panel discussions, breakout sessions and other methods of 
collaboration.


Workshop topics are below:

* OSGeo and other free geospatial software in Universities
* Educational materials that use free geospatial software
* Packaging software and other digital materials for Ubuntu
* Experiences in delivering education using free geospatial software
* Experiences in packaging educational materials for geospatial
* Experiences in using OSGeo Live in Universities
* Experiences in using OSGeo Edu and other initiatives (OLPC, RPi etc) in 
Schools


Please submit a short abstract of your presentation (max 300 words) before July 
31, 2012 to  ari.jo...@aalto.fimailto:ari.jo...@aalto.fi
Details at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/osgis/home.aspx

A further aim of the workshop is to initiate a network of people skilled in the 
technology behind the OSGeo Live system and coordinate resources of OSGeo 
education and curriculum community for this purpose. We are looking forward to 
strong participation from the Educational and OSGeo Live DVD community for this.

Best wishes,

- with some help

As per email below,
We'd really like to bring our OSGeo-Live release schedule forward 2 weeks so 
that we will have a shiny new OSGeo-Live 6.0 ready for OSGIS and the Asian 
Geospatial Forum this September.

To achieve this, we will need to knock over all our critical bugs, and most 
major bugs within the next 7 days. Based on our current progress, and if we can 
get a little help (especially from projects with bugs), then we should be able 
to make this.  As per Angelos's comment below, we will make a call on moving 
the schedule in one week from today.

Please contact us via email or on irc://freenode.net#osgeolive if you are in a 
position to help, especially if you involved with one of the applications with 
a major/critical bug.

I propose to be meeting tomorrow, and probably daily afterwards on IRC to check 
on status:

especially Angelos who has been leading the build efforts and testing 
applications.

Hi,

First of all, it would be great to have version 6.0 out sooner in order to 
support OSGIS.

Lets have a look at our status:
Right now we are in pretty good shape considering the openjdk7 transition. 
Moving 2 weeks back could mean that we might lose a couple of applications that 
perhaps won't be able to catch up with the new schedule.

As per http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/report/10 we have 5 critical tickets and 5 
major ones.

Our basic problems to hit RC status are: geonetwork issue, docs not building, 
udig with custom JRE, mapfish, osm apps.
During this last week we had a very good run and fixed some issues. If we keep 
up this pace we can make this new target.
We will definitely need to bring in help from the above projects to speed 
things up
