All,
We have had some last minute updates to the QGIS Quickstart (describing the GRASS plugin), from non-GRASS experts.
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/117

Hopefully all is in order now. But would be great is we could get a review from someone familiar in this area. If you could reply all to confirm that you have reviewed, with issues identified, or to verify everything looks ok.

Warm regards, Cameron

PS, I'm not on the GRASS email list, so please forward this email to the grass list.

    Hi all,
    Nicolas has recently identified that the OSGeo-Live QGIS
    quickstart which describes how to use GRASS within QGIS is
    incorrect. (I assume due to updates).

    Is there anyone with experience with this who can help us update
    this quickstart within the next 48 hours (before we cut our
    Release Candidate)? Otherwise we will need to comment this out of
    our Quickstart.

    The previous quickstart can be seen here:

    Nicolas' review as a git pull request here:

    Hi Cameron,

    I made a pull request for the QGIS quickstart review I made.
    . screenshots are mostly updated (except for GRASS and OSM,
    shutter crashed at that moment)

    . I changed some texts

    .Wasn't able to update the whole GRASS section. It changed too
    much from the last version  and I wasn't able to locate the
    mentionned tools. I'm sorry about that.

    .There is 2 screenshot that I retake in 1024x768:
    qgis_toolbox.png and qgis_enable_providers.png. But I didn't know
    how to remove it trough git. You just delete them and use git add
    on them ?

    So QGIS needed a lot of work, most is done, but the GRASS section
    needs a complete rebuild by someone who knows the tool.


    Cheers,

    Nicolas.

        Hi,

        I'll look for the mentionned changes.


        My name and surname are already in the google settings, don't
        know why it shows baka niko instead of my real names.

        By the way, my first name is Nicolas, and my family name is
        Roelandt. So you can call me Nicolas, which is the same as
        Nicholas in the english speaking world. Niko is fine too.

        Sorry it confuses you.

        Nicolas

            Hi Nicolas,
            QGIS email thread as mentioned.

            I just realised I've used your nick name "Baka" instead
            of Nicolas in last email. Sorry about that. Any chance
            you could change your email settings to say "Nicolas"?
            By the way, I'm not sure if your last name?

            Warm regards, Cameron

            Thanks Tim for suggestions.
            Nathan, updates would be welcome. Thanks for the offer.
            You probably want to look at Tim's suggestions below. I
            note he also had attachments.

            If you are able to update sooner in the week rather than
            later, that would be great, as OSGeo-Live translators are
            translating this week, and we strike our release
            candidate next Monday 14 March.

            Warm regards, Cameron

            Hi all,
            I haven't had any luck connecting with the QGIS community, and 
since writing this email a few days back, Angelos reports that we now have QGIS 
2.14.0 working on OSGeo-Live.

            Can we please, please, please get some help working out if our 
Project Overview does QGIS justice in its description of QGIS features.

            http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/overview/overview.html

            I’m sorry we are all a bit pooped from getting 2.14 out and the 
subsequent email barrage etc.

            Looking at the above page I would say its still probably fine like 
that. I don’t have time to update the docs directly, but if someone else does, 
here are my suggested edits:

            1) Add 2.5D rendering support to the feature list
            2) Change the logo to the new QGIS logo (attached as SVG)
            3) Update the screenshot to the attached
            4) Update the current version to 2.14

            Thanks for making the effort to include us on the live CD!






            Regards

            Tim

            And if we could get someone to check that QGIS's quickstart is 
still valid that would be wonderful.
            How to add/update docs is described here:

            Hi Tim, Nathan, Larry, Alex,

            The OSGeo-Live Project Overview for qgis currently describes 
version 2.4.0, however version 2.12.1 is installed on the next OSGeo-Live9.5 
release.
            Are there any features which should be added to the Project 
Overview, or does the doc just require a version update?

            You can see the latest nightly OSGeo-Live docs 
here:http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/overview/overview.html
            And docs are in git here:https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc
