OSGeo Live
Lightning Overview

Jody Garnett

Welcome to FOSS4G

What is Lightning about a 90 mins presentation?Nothing!

Everything: There are 43 projects, 90 seconds a project

Quick rundown of the OSGeo Live project

An Overview of the products includedLearn what is available today

Great for planning your activities this week!

Background information ... like who pays!

Using OSGeo Live to bring the conference Home

OSGeo Live Project

What does it look like?

Scale of OSGeo Live

Team of core developersAlex Mandel, Cameron Shorter, Hamish Bowman

3 mirrors of the OSGeo Live

Along with one person from each project35 volunteers listed!

FOSS4G 2007

Initial idea of creating a DVD

TipMany good things start at FOSS4G

Go to a Bird of Feather session!

FOSS4G 2009 Version 2

Version 2.0Arramagong produced by LISAsoft

The name means Wombats run down holes

Cameron Shorter inspired everyone to bring this one in

ContentsIncrease to 21 projects

Xbuntu based, with an actual build process

Success!FOSS4G provided a printing run

Used an example template script inviting others to fill in the blanks in order to take part

48 hour build cycle (automation!)

FIG 2010 Version 3

An international Surveyors conferenceArramagong

A wombat is like a cute bager

Contents34 projects represented

SuccessLISAsoft sponsored a printing run

Tyler Mitchell

Used in training courses

FOSS4G 2010 Version 4

Version 4.0OSGeo Live

100% less wombat references

Contents43 projects!

Project Documentation! OGC Standards Documentation!

SuccessFOSS4G provided a printing run

Two weeks of QA prior to FOSS4G5% failure rate (a couple projects need workarounds)

Templates provided for overview documentation

Why is OSGeo Live Successful Today

Gap between ...

Developers who write the softwareCost of writing proper Linux installers was too expensive

Producing DVDs takes too much time

And installers who package it for othersCost of figuring out the software too expensive

Cost of describing the software too expensive

OSGeo Live bridges this Gapproject management for developers and installers

Arrange sponsorship for DVD print runs

Contact point for conferences and education programs

OSGeo Live is Valuable

Great example of collaboration to produce value!

Conferences:Provide Printing, and get a great ready-to-run DVD for your delegates

A bit more effort and you can brand to match your conference
