27 July 2010 
The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC®) and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) will develop conforming documentation for key OGC standards and geospatial open source application descriptions. Both sets of documentation will be available online and on the OSGeo-Live DVD, to be released at the international conference for Free and Open Source Software, FOSS4G, in September 2010, in Barcelona, Spain (http://2010.foss4g.org). 
“We are happy to work with OSGeo to meet the needs of open source developers,” explained Steven Ramage, Executive Director, Marketing and Communications, OGC, “because wider use of OGC standards increases interoperability, innovation and market growth, and this benefits developers and users of both open source and proprietary software.”
According to Cameron Shorter, coordinator of the OSGeo-Live project, “OGC standards underpin our GeoSpatial Open Source applications, and hence OGC documentation will greatly enhance the Open Source documentation being developed.”

= Dropping broken packages from OSGeo-Live 10.5= 
29 March 2017
This to be sent to as email to Live-demo@lists.osgeo.org, discuss@lists.osgeo.org and project points of contact
Hi all,
We, the OSGeo-Live team, have been struggling to get the latest OSGeo-Live 10.5 release out due to quality issues. During our testing sprint, we have found many issues such as: 
* Referenced layers from being unavailable, 
* Quickstarts being out of date with applications, (especially screenshots being wrong)
* And some broken applications.
With this this release that we are running into a mismatch between aggregate volunteer hours available, and amount of work required. In particular, collectively we've had less volunteers from each project committing to updating and testing their applications and quickstarts. This may be in part our fault for not chasing enough, or for doing more and more of the work and having others then expect this from us.
But for whatever reason, we are going to have to make some hard decisions with regards to getting this release out. We don't want to compromise on quality, so we will be commenting out applications which are not working or have significant issues with quickstarts.
Projects which have been earmarked to be commented out are below (there may be others we find)
* PyWPS https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1886
* Cesium https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1898
* Java World Wind https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1900 https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1901
* Iris https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1360
Projects with issues being looked into:
* QGIS https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1897
* GeoNode https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1442
* ZOO-Project https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1431
If you can help with fixing or testing applications then we will be super grateful. You can talk with us on Live-demo AT lists.osgeo.org
Schedule:
* 30 March 2017: Finish accepting fixes/patches. Comment out broken applications
* 31 March: Build OSGeo-Live 10.5RC2
* 1-2 April: Testing sprint of 10.5RC2
* 4 April: Final release

=Reducing scope of OSGeo-Live for next 11.0 release=
17 April 2017
For our next OSGeo-Live release, 11.0, we propose to reduce the number of packages included, and only support a 64 bit distribution, (32 bit will be built but not tested or officially supported).
Factors leading to this suggestion include:
# Some projects have dwindling communities and momentum.
# Increased OSGeo-Live scope has increased our core maintenance and testing.
# Reduced engagement from projects (partly due to less core time spent reaching out to projects)
# Missing our first release milestone in 9 years.
From our options of reduce quality, become more efficient, increase volunteer engagement, find a sponsor to support core activities, and reduce scope, reducing scope is our most viable and acceptable option. Other ideas are welcomed.
Questions we will ask in assessing which projects to keep include:
# Is there an ACTIVE OSGeo-Live liaison person/people for the project? Prior list is copied to "Contact" column at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5BaEgQtgw4O1bXyeWMlM8XtAOhUgcjZ7Y2O0FZc2H0/edit?hl=en_GB#gid=2014800150
# Has the Project Overview and Quickstart been reviewed and are they current and complete?
# Do OpenHub metrics reflect an active and healthy community: https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html
# Is the project being updated on OSGeo-Live with each release?

=What applications and versions should be included on OSGeo-Live 11.0?=
9 May 2017
We are asking all OSGeo-Live projects to let us know:
# What versions of projects should be on OSGeo-Live?
# Are there any new projects which should be on OSGeo-Live?
# Are there any projects which should be dropped from OSGeo-Live?
As per last announcement [1], with our next OSGeo-LIve release we intend to focus on quality, and as such will be asking each project:
# To help install the latest stable version of the software.
# To verify Project Overview and Quickstarts are both up to date and in line with our documentation standards.
You can see results of our first pass review in our status spreadsheet [2], column T "11.0 comment", and column U "10.0 Doc Review".

=What's in the OSGeo-Live 11.0 reboot?=
29 May 2017
In line with the OSGeo-Live reboot [1] we have identified the following actions:
We will only support a 64 bit distribution, (32 bit will be built but not tested or officially supported).
We will no longer provide:
* Windows installers,
* Write ups for OGC Standards, 
* Write ups for libraries without a user interface (on a case-by-case basis)
Stray projects: We haven't got a point of contact for these projects. If you know something about this project, and can help review docs, then please consider adopting the project. Without a volunteer, we will need to consider retiring them from OSGeo-Live. Work commitment is low, kudos and karma very high :)
* openlayers
* osgearth
* gmt
* iris
* jupyter
* JOSM ( OpenStreetMap editor )
* proj4
* mb-system
* zygrib
Projects recommended to be retired from OSGeo-Live:
* geokettle
* geomajas
* javaworldwind
* kosmo
* mapnik
* pywps (quickstart broken)
* sahana
* tinyows
* ushahidi
* viking
Remaining projects:
* Most projects have at least minor tweaks required for the docs, some have outright errors.
* We are asking each project to, check their project overview, run the application on an OSGeo-Live VM (10.5 or a recent nightly build), run every step of the quickstart, update if required, and tell us when done.
* Once verified, we will add the project back into the OSGeo-Live 11.0 builds.
* We will call on all projects to test their projects and quickstarts again in an OSGeo-Live 11.0 beta. 
For specific project comments, see the OSGeo-Live status spreadsheet, column T "11.0 Comment", and column U "10.5 Doc Review".

=1 week to test the OSGeo-Live DVD before we burn it=
3 August 2010
The OSGeo-Live DVD is looking great, with 43 pre-configured GeoSpatial Open Source packages and marketing documentation.
It will be sent to the printers next week, Monday 9 August, and we are calling on all projects to test their applications and documentation and verify everything is working fine.
Could everyone with an interest please:
* download an ISO or Virtual Machine from here: http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/
* run (and update) test steps for your project. Test steps might be "Run steps in QuickStart". Record results here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing
* review documentation: http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/osgeolive-docs/index.html
* if inspired - write a quickstart, or add screen shots to an existing quickstart.
* fix anything that is broken

Live GIS Disc Press Release 80

Dear OSGeo-Live contributors,
We are excited to announce that after many months work, we have set up the Transifex platform to run OSGeo-Live translations [1], and we want help battle testing it in several languages.
Transifex will hugely simplify and improve the sustainability of our translation experience (over our previous manual spreadsheet / git / .rst process). 
* It offers machine translation.
* It provides a review process.
* It shows us what is changed in the English doc version.
* It shows translation progress
 
==What is involved==
We describe what to do in our first draft of the translator guide [2].
For testing the infrastructure, translated files are needed. You can translate based on the priority mark, or on the amount of lines to be translated, or complete a translation that someone else started, or start with your own project. Note that we already marked files that don't need translation.
Please tell us if the guide makes sense. (The guide is probably more for a reviewer than for a translator.)
If the images below don't show in your mail, they are included in our translator guide [2]
They are mark with a red >> on the left:
 500px 
After that testing phase, we will work on translating included projects, where people from the projects can help us.
Those files generally start by overview-- or quickstart-- and are mark with an orange >
 500px 
The files marked with a green dash don't need to be translated (and would be retired at some point).
 500px 
Best way to start is to filter for v11 files and descending priority:
 500px 
As you can see on the dashboard [3], we already have 8 languages registered waiting for translators:
* finnish
* french
* german
* greek
* japanese
* polish
* spanish
* Mexican spanish
If you can help us translating those languages, or help us with another, please create an account on transifex and join us.
Pro. tip: you can copy/paste translations from current documentation [5] or from github [6] and check whether it still fits in with the string to translate.
If you have any question, please join us on IRC or on this mailing list.
