Starting build cycle for OSGeoLive 12 and call for translators

28 February 2018

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience? The build 
cycle for the next OSGeoLive release, 12.0, is going to start in 3 weeks 
at OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 in Bonn [1]. The final version is planned to 
be ready at 2nd August 2018 in time for FOSS4G 2018 in Dar Es Saalam 
[2]. Have a look at our schedule for the the detailed steps [3].


Till then we have many challenges - from simple to challenging, to help 
describe and train people in the value of Open Source GIS.


Translation
-
Are you multi-lingual and interested in Open Source GIS? At the end of 
2017 we moved the translation of OSGeoLive to transifex [4] and we still 
have many open translations. How about help translate one or two of the 
Project Overviews or Quickstarts? Have a look at our translation guide 
[5] to get involved.



Packages
-
Are you a programmer or packager with experience in one of the Open 
Source GIS applications. Are you interested in helping update a project 
to the latest version.



Join us at OSGeo Code Sprint 2018
-
There will be the OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 in Bonn from 18th till 25th of 
March 2018 [1]. Some people from OSGeoLive team will be there. We'd love 
to see you, whether you are new to Open Source or an experienced old 
timer.

Re: [OSGeoLive] Presentation.

2018-02-27 Thread Cameron Shorter 

Bob,

You should be able to run the presentation from an OSGeo-Live USB. Maybe 
try downloading that.


Otherwise, it sounds like the relative links are not working in whatever 
you have downloaded.


You could try (from a bash command line):

wget -p -k https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html

(this will download a web page, and used pages and convert links for you).

I think if you do a "Save" command from a web browser, it will do 
something similar as well.


Alternatively, look at the source code and search for relative links and 
change them manually. Lines like the following will be likely candidates:



If none of this works, then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas and you will 
need to find someone more helpful than me or work it out for yourself.

Hi Cameron,

The “s” options works fine when I run it from the Website (online), 
but when I try to save the presentation locally and run if from a 
local file location, the NOTE aspects are not found.  I can get both 
to work independently (so far).  I downloaded the NOTEs pages locally 
as a separate download,  just trying to link them together correctly, 
in the main presentation.


I want to be able to run without a internet connection, etc.  all 
resources contained on a Thumb drive.


Just looking for hints on where the link might be in the main 
presentation.

It is possible you have been pressing upper case "S" (which doesn't 
work) instead of lower case "s" (which should work).


What should happen is another browser window will open up. If your 
browser has been configured to prevent the opening of popups, then 
that might be the problem you are experiencing. Maybe see if you have 
an error message saying that a window is being blocked from being 
opened, or check your settings, or try a different browser.


Hope that helps, Cameron

All,

I figured it out.  I needed the whole reveal.js javascript lib to make it work. 
 Just have to repoint some of the javascript locating links at the bottom of 
the main presentation page.

I’ve got it all running locally now from a USB drive.

Thanks
