=What version of applications should we be installing on OSGeo-Live 6.5?=
9 November 2012
Hi all,
We have started the OSGeo-Live build process for the next 6.5 release and would like to know which version of each application we should include on OSGeo-Live.
For the application(s) which you are responsible for, could you please email me with the version that you expect should be installed.
If you will be changing the version of your application, could you also update the installers script.
Our key milestones are:
* 10 Dec 2012 All new applications installed, most old applications updated
* 24 Dec 2012 Feature Freeze (all apps updated)
* 28 Jan 2013 User Acceptance Test (all apps installed and working)
* 18 Feb 2013 Final ISO sent to printers
... full schedule

=Targeting OSGeo-Live Quickstarts for OSGeo-Live 6.5=
19 January 2013
Software quality on our OSGeo-Live 6.5 release is looking very promising, and starting with this release, we hope to start bringing documentation quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through the same comprehensive review that we have done for our Project Overviews, tracking status in our Status Spreadsheet.
We see this as a 3 step process:
# Projects ensure their quickstarts are up to date, set "Quickstart Status"="6.5draft"
# A non-project person, runs every step of the quickstart, and makes sure it runs ok. set "Quickstart Status"="6.5reviewed". 
# One of our writers reviews for readability. (I'm volunteering to be one of these people). Set "Quickstart Status"="6.5final".
We're looking for are around 10 people who can dedicate a couple of hours over the next couple of months to run a few Quickstarts and verify they are accurate and understandable. If you can help out, please contact me, or speak up on the osgeo-live email list.
We've started a review checklist, and am open to suggested improvements:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Quickstart_Review_Checklist
For the OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, we'd like to update as many Quickstarts as we can within the next two weeks, by 4 February 2013.

=Update OSGeo-Live Project Overviews and Quickstarts=
18 December 2012
Now that we have a feature freeze for OSGeo-Live 6.5, could all OSGeo-Live projects please ensure their Project Overviews and Quickstarts [0] are up to date. This should be quite painless for most.
# Update the version number in your Project Overview (if changed).
# Possibly mention a new feature or two.
# Re-run the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid, and screenshots match the implementation.
# Update status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to "6.5draft" in our status sheet. [1]

=OSGeo-Live Project Overview deadline in 3 days=
20 January 2013
We are scheduled to hand our OSGeo-Live Project Overviews to translators in 3 days (21 Jan 2013). According to our status spreadsheet, most Overviews are ready, but we are still waiting on a few.
Outstanding Project Overviews:
* geoserver
* gvsig
* mapbender
* mapserver
* osm
* ossim
* otb
* postgis
* pycsw
* R
* spatialite
* ushahidi
* naturalearth
* geos
What is involved:
* Ensure that the version in the docs reflects that on the DVD, and that in the status sheet [1]
* If required, updated the feature list or text
* Once complete update the status sheet [1] to "6.5draft" if you have updated text, or "6.5final" if you have only changed the version number.
* I'll review all 6.5 draft Overviews and set to "6.5final"

=Two weeks to translate OSGeo-Live documents=
24 January 2013
OSGeo-Live 6.5 Project Overviews and Quickstarts are mostly complete, and we are calling on help to translate these documents over the next two weeks, by 11 February 2013.
The translation details are linked from here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Translate
Basically:
# Documents ready to translate are marked as "6.5final" in our status spreadsheet.
# Currency of translations is determined from subversion timestamps is kept here: http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/translation_status.html
# Process for translation is explained here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Translate
This process has hopefully been simplified from prior releases, by replacing our prior Translation Spreadsheet by our constantly maintained Translation status sheet. However, translators are welcome to make use of whatever process works best for your community.

=OSGeo-Live Quickstart Hackathon - Wrappup=
18 February 2013
As we are wrapping up the OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, it is worth taking stock of the progress made during our recent OSGeo-Live Quickstart Hackaton. This was kicked off by a 48 hour intensive hackathon, followed up by a couple of weeks, addressing issues found.
Our aim was to "... bring OSGeo-Live documentation quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through the same comprehensive testing and review that we have provided for our Project Overviews". We set up a comprehensive 3 tier review process, ensuring that
# All steps from quickstarts have been updated by the original author,
# The quickstarts have been tested by an independent person,
# And quickstarts have been reviewed for usability and consistency.
And the results:
* at least 24 people joined the hackfest
* Out of 62 Quickstart documents:
** 40 were brought in line with the latest 6.5 OSGeo-Live release
** 28 were externally reviewed
** 12 were comprehensively updated for readability and consistency. These included most of the high profile OSGeo projects.
And what did we learn?
* There is a lot of work involved in reviewing all these documents. We were spending in the order of 2 to 16 hours per quickstart for a comprehensive review. This is quite a bit of time when considering there are 62 documents.
* "Many hands might light work". The many contributors ensured we made some great progress on this task.
* We still haven't finished, but we are now in a good position to bring the docs in line for the next OSGeo-Live release, version 7.0.

Thanks to all the contributors. (I think there are a few more contributors who didn't register)

= OSGeo-Live and HeartBleed vulnerability=
14 April 2014
The Heartbleed Bug - described in this Ubuntu Security Note - is a serious security exposure, and the relevant software components shipped on the OSGeo-Live versions 6.0 to the present 7.9.
As described in many widely available posts on the Internet, the HeartBleed vulnerability is exposed when network software uses the Transport Layer Security (TLS) feature built on top of a current version of the encryption library openssl. The fix to the vulnerability is to upgrade the openssl package via the Ubuntu/Debian apt mechanism.
No software on the OSGeo-Live is configured to serve network connections using TLS "out of the box." However, some software (such as QGis) which provide WMS connectivity to other network services, may create a reverse-vulnerability when a secure connection is established. By patching your OSGeo-Live openssl library, you can close that reverse-exposure. 
Please note that the OSGeo-Live project does not recommend using OSGeo-Live "as-is" for production deployment on the Internet. 
All users of OSGeo Live from versions 6.0 to the present 7.9 release are strongly encouraged to apply software updates to any installed system.
==OSGeo-Live releases affected==
OSGeo-Live releases based on Ubuntu 12.04 are affected. This includes versions:
* 6.0
* 6.5
* 7.0
* 7.9
== How to Fix ==
The OSGeo-Live project recommends that all installed versions of an affected OSGeo-Live release follow at a minimum, these steps:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0
The default password is "user" (four characters).
Using the graphical update manager will also work, click the 8 pointed star in the top toolbar. Make sure to check for updates and apply any updates to libssl available.
A restart of all services is required after the update is applied, otherwise old libs are used for RAM. You can either restart by hand or reboot the whole system.
