Hi, I'm one of the team producing OSGeo's live dvd sampler. The idea is to collect the best FOSS geospatial apps and put them together pre-installed with sample data and mini-tutorials, to be given out at conferences, try without the hassle of setting anything up, etc. Besides the knoppix-like live DVD you can boot from a USB drive or download the virtual machine image. We've included Viking on it from Ubuntu 12.04 (version 1.2.1), and have some (intentionally short) overview and quickstart docs to go along with it.
I was wondering if someone(s) from the Viking team could look over what we've put together and let us know what we've forgotten, or what's great in the 1.2.1 release which we don't mention, or anything else. We're sending things out the the translation teams about now, so to avoid double work for them the sooner the better. nightly development build server: http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/overview/viking_overview.html http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/quickstart/viking_quickstart.html project pages: http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc .. and of course you're more than welcome to subscribe to the live-demo at osgeo dot org mailing list & get more involved if you like. thanks, Hamish ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
