Hi Pieter,
On behalf of one of the communities you have drawn from, thanks for the
thanks. It is nice to hear that people make use of the work that we do.
Cheers, Cameron (from the OSGeo-Live project)

Hi guys
I am posting this on three mailing lists, but I also know that some of
you are involved with more than one project.
I would like to express my gratitude to all involved in osgeo-live
dvd, ubuntugis and orfeo-toolbox for providing "ready-made" solutions
for us Open Source Geo users.
I am doing a proof of concept for work purposes on Open Source Geo tools.
I have done testing on Ubuntu 14.04, and have installed or compiled
from scratch the most common tools and applications.
I have always been interested in ossim and orfeo-toolbox (that
includes Monteverdi), and was looking at using built packages.
I have run into a bit of a problem when I saw that there are no
ossim-qt and ossim-plugins in the osgeolive nightly ppa, and that
ossim in ubuntugis unstable is 1.8.20, with no otb 5.2.
I wanted to follow the osgeo-live install-ossim.sh script.
I then decided to use ossim and its friends from osgeo-live 9.0, and
then compile otb, Ice and Monteverdi from scratch.
Firstly, thanks to ubuntugis for providing standard used packages, so
that I do not have to compile certain things from scratch.
Secondly, thanks to osgeo-live for the install scripts. I was
dreading this part, but it was easier than I thought. Ossim and co
are running without any problems, so now I have ossim and its apps
almost like on the osgeo-live dvd.
Thirdly, to the guys at orfeo, for providing a superbuild for
compiling otb. I was also dreading this part, but compilation went
smooth, and I even managed to compile otb just by using system
dependencies (no deps were downloaded by superbuild install)
So after some other experimentation, I have a real working proof of
concept that is sure to sway some peoples minds in the way op Open
Source Geo
Just some bragging info
Using Postgres 9.5, with Postgis 2.2.1 (compiled against sfcgal)
Pointcloud, pgrouting extensions
Grass 7.0.2 (using the 7.0.1 install from ubuntugis, and compiled in
7.0.2)
QGIS Master from qgis.org <http://qgis.org> (with ubuntugis-unstable deps)
and various others such as pdal (compiled) just for the heck of it.
Again thank you to all for providing ready built packages and
solutions, or providing source code that is easy to compile!!!!!
Pieter
