We are starting the build cycle for version 10.0 of theOSGeo-Live
<http://live.osgeo.org/>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 most as we are 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.
