Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Could we make OSGeo and OSGeo-Live available as remote desktops from the cloud?

2017-02-08 Thread Cameron Shorter 
Jáchym, Jeff, thanks for reminding us of gis.lab. Martin Landa and Ivana 
Mincik, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on collaboration.


Doug, I assume you already know of http://live.osgeo.org and you might 
want to watch the osgeolive mailing list as we discuss this.

Warm regards, Cameron

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.

also looks like an interesting option:
http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/

remote access via

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.
