OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (​http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. ​https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux

  • Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back
  • Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.

OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects. Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian. Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.

  • Topic : learning webmapping and OGC standards with OpenLayers, GeoServer, !PostGIS (​http://ogo.heig-vd.ch)
  • A customized OSGeoLive 5.5 VM has been used through VirtualBox by 15 students to execute several exercices and to build a five days project (​http://carto.iict.ch)
  • Delivering a complete and ready to use geo-enabled VM is interessant for students to work in a kind of sandbox and to bring something easely back at home for later reuse.
