LISAsoft have built a LiveDVD containing a stack of quality, Open
Source, Geospatial Software. The DVD will be handed out at FOSS4G 2008
<http://foss4g.org/index.php/foss4g/2008> and we want help testing it
before we burn it.

Download
Download the FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD image from:
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/ .

Deadline for testing
Please download and complete testing by Close of Business, Monday 22
September. (We might get a little extra time for testing depending on
the burn process).
Could you please download the image, see if you can boot your computer
from using the LiveDVD image, and report your results on our wiki at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Testing

...

Just to clarify, it is the file:
FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha3_4.iso
then is the latest for testing, right?

Correct, please test FOSS4G-2008-LiveDVD-Alpha3_4.iso

 From now on we plan to only fix bugs and address cosmetic changes (like
populating an index.html). We don't plan to add features.

Also, we have extra testing time until Wednesday 24 September, but
please test earlier rather than later so we have time to turn around any
fixes.

I'm planning on using the live-DVD to load the OSGeo booth PC.  If
anyone wants to take advantage of the provided stack for loading some
demos, please drop me a line.  The plan atm is to have the PC wired to
the local lan, so it can offer web services etc locally if it is set up
in time.

Tim Bowden

Hello folks!
I did some tests on the liveDVD and all is working fine...you did a really great work, adding all the missing
stuff and tweaking the system.
The only problem I have found is when starting gvSIG, which can't find the Alska tif.

I'll go on with testing.

Have a nice weekend

I've made a mapfile to show mapserver with the Alaska dataset:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc:mapfile_for_mapserver#WMS_calls

what time is the deadline to close the final ISO?
If I have time I'll try, on Wednesday, to do a zip file containing:
* a home page for localhost with links to:
** Mapserver WMS getCapabilities, getMap, getLegend
** a page with OpenLayers showing available layers
** geoserver demos

ciao

Lorenzo,
That would be much appreciated, and I'll get the mapfile in right away.
We are planning on starting to build the 'final' image this afternoon,
so we've got an effective cutoff of 3pm AEST.  Anything you can get in
before then we'll be sure to add.
<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=9&day=24&year=2008&hour=15&min=0&sec=0&p1=240>

I've put together a quick, and not especially impressive, mapfile and
cgi template using some australian data, so that will be in there as
well, but the cgi interface doesn't look too impressive.

Mark,  Please don't let that cutoff slip.  How long will your upload
take?  I've got to start a download as soon as it's finished (note to
self- I wonder if I can start slurping shortly after you start
uploading?  Is there an rsync daemon on the server?  That might make it
quicker).  I'm taking a hard copy with me in case the duplication house
has issues with the download size (they've flagged this yesterday as the
size has grown a bit).  I'll be leaving tomorrow at lunchtime, so that's
cutting it fine as is.

If there is anyone already in Cape Town on a fast link who can download
in a timely manner, please drop me a line.  I prefer to have more
contingency plans ;-)

Regards,
Tim
