=Starting build cycle for OSGeo-Live 8.0=
5 May 2014
We are starting the build cycle for OSGeo-Live 8.0 which will be released in September 2014, ready for the global FOSS4G conference in Portland.
We would like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects, anyone wishing to extend or add extra translations, or anyone who wants to contribute in code, testing or ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.
Also, could all projects please reply to us with which stable version of their software should be included in this release. Ideally, projects should provide debian packages for this release.
==Key Milestones==
: 08 Jun 2014 All new applications installed, most old applications updated
: 07 Jul 2014 Feature Freeze (all apps updated)
: 27 Jul 2014 User Acceptance Test (all apps installed and working)
: 17 Aug 2014 Final ISO sent to printers
... full schedule
== Moving to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS ==
OSGeo-Live 8.0 will be built upon the recently released Lubuntu 14.04 Long Term Support release (it was previously based upon Xubuntu 12.04 LTS).
# Lubuntu, which is a LXDE based Ubuntu linux distribution, is light weight. This means it runs faster, with less memory and disk requirements which will improve the OSGeo-Live user experiences and allow us to fit a little more onto a DVD.
# Moving to the 14.04 LTS release will help bring all applications up to the latest software, but will likely result in a number of applications needing to apply updates to address new dependency issues.
==About OSGeo-Live==
OSGeo-Live 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.

= OSGeo-Live needs you! ... at the FOSS4G-Europe Code Sprint=
11 July 2014
Will you be attending FOSS4G-Europe [1]? If so, please sign up for the OSGeo-Live code sprint on Friday 18 July 2014.
After many years of building OSGeo-Live on quality Ubuntu LTS releases, this year, the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is not as stable as we expected.
As such we need debugging and testing to help to get OSGeo-Live back up to the level of quality expected of it.
And we need help updating screen shots, documentation and translations to highlight the latest shiny OSGeo-Live products.
Everyone is welcome to join us, and we can find a job for any willing volunteer.
If you are coming, please sign up [2].

= OSGeo-Live UAT in one week: Testing and doc updates required =
28 July 2014
In this OSGeo-Live 8.0 development cycle we have seen major upgrades: moving to the light weight Lubuntu distribution, moving to a new Long Time Support release (LTS), and moving even more applications to make use of Debian packaging. It should be our best distribution yet. But this has impacted our schedule, as the Ubuntu LTS has only become stable within the last week (14.04.1 release), and we need help in order to deliver OSGeo-Live to FOSS4G-PDX with our usual high level of quality and reliability.
In particular, we need help:
# Testing to verify everything works in this new system and fixing bugs. Download alpha1 here [0].
# Updating version number in your Project Overview (if changed), and possibly mention a new feature or two. Doc howtos [4].
# Re-running the Quickstart and ensure each step is still valid, and screenshots match the implementation.
# Updating status of the Project Overview and Quickstart to "8.0draft" in our status sheet. [1]
Due to our tight timelines, we might need to hide applications which we can't get stablised, tested, or docs updated in time. Please check our current list of open issues [2][3] to verify that your project is working as expected.
== Schedule ==
* 27 July 2014 Alpha4 released [3]. Please verify all applications work and fix bugs.
* 03 August 2014 Beta1 release - start taking screen shots with new background.
* 07 August 2014 Community Testing Sprint (UAT).
* 07 August 2014 English docs complete.
* 14 August 2014 Translations complete.
* 17 August 2014 OSGeo-Live 8.0 sent to the printers.

=OSGeo-Live metrics going public in next release=
31 January 2016
With the upcoming OSGeo-Live 9.5 release, we will make OpenHub metrics very visible, adding a "Metrics" tab from the main OSGeo-Live page, which links to our existing OSGeo-Live OpenHub summaries.
Most OSGeo-Live projects have very compelling metrics, demonstrating an established and active development community. However, there are a few projects where OpenHub metrics are dated, incorrectly suggesting a lack of project activity. As such, I encourage all projects to review their OpenHub metrics before the next OSGeo-Live release, and update where appropriate.

Following on from reviewing OSGeo-Live metrics, there are a couple of projects which we consider are candidates for retiring from OSGeo-Live. 
* GpsDrive - no recent activity and has critical errors preventing building. https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1601
* tinyOWS - no recent activity, and has open errors: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1233
We are interested to hear feedback or comments on whether these projects should or should not be retired.

=Starting build cycle for OSGeo-Live 10.0=
10 May 2016
We are starting the build cycle for version 10.0 of the OSGeo-Live DVD/USB/VM which will be released in August 2016, ready for the global FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany.
This release is going to be more challenging than usual as we be moving to the next Long Term Release (LTS) of Ubuntu,16.04 Xenial. We expect to be asking for help to solve the multitude of dependency conflicts likely to be introduced. In particular, we expect most debian packages and bash installers will need tweaking once an alpha OSGeo-Live build is working. Initial packaging efforts have started and the Debian packages will soon appear in UbuntuGIS Unstable (currently in Testing).
We would like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to OSGeo-Live, anyone wishing to extend or add translations, or anyone who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.

=OSGeo-Live 10.0 alpha1 ready to test=
4 June 2016
After much hard work from the OSGeo-Live build team, we release today the first alpha version of OSGeo-Live 10.0.
It is based on the new Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Long Term Support (LTS). Over the last 6 weeks since Ubuntu 16.04 was released, we have ported the entire build system to the new LTS and we merged packaging effort from DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS, bringing most of the recent geospatial packages to Xenial. The result is now shared with the OSGeo community through the updated UbuntuGIS repositories (Testing and Unstable).
We encourage all OSGeo-Live projects to download OSGeo-Live alpha1 [1], test your project with this new release and make sure it works as expected. If your project is missing from the iso, it means that the installer failed completely and needs extra attention from you. Please report back issues to our Trac instance [2] (and let us know what you have tested on our mailing list live-demo@lists.osgeo.org. We track this information in our status spreadsheet [3]). We love pro-active projects we don't have to chase, so please prepare your code to work on the new LTS and send us a pull request with your installer changes.
We have a lot of work to do and a tight schedule if we are to release in time for FOSS4G in Bonn. Our next milestone is to reach beta stage by the end of June.
