I am new to this list. This is my first post. 1. My understanding is that JupyterLab will replace Jupyter Notebook in 2018.
"We plan to release JupyterLab 1.0 later in 2018. ... JupyterLab 1.0 will eventually replace the classic Jupyter Notebook. Throughout this transition, the same notebook document format will be supported by both the classic Notebook and JupyterLab." https://blog.jupyter.org/jupyterlab-is-ready-for-users-5a6f039b8906 JupyterLab 1.0 (beta 2) is due Tuesday, March 27, 2018 and the full JupyterLab 1.0 timeline is here: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/milestones In addition, there are several JupyterLab videos on YouTube. JupyterLab: The Next-Generation Jupyter Frontend - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7jq4XgwLJQ JupyterLab Code Console - YouTube (no sound) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq1l7DBngQQ 2. Have the OSGEO 12 Live team considered the Raspbian Pixel desktop (uses same LXDE on Debian)? The Raspberry Pi project created a Debian derived Linux distribution called Raspbian for their Broadcom (RISC, non-Intel) based $35 credit card sized educational computer board with a desktop "Pixel" based on LXDE. Over 12.5 million Raspberry Pi computers have been sold. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/3/17/14962170/raspberry-pi-sales-12-5-million-five-years-beats-commodore-64 https://betanews.com/2017/07/19/raspberry-pi-eben-upton-qa/ They have now come up with an X86 (32-bit) version Pixel. Pixel would seem to be a good starting point for the new OSGEO 12, but for the best of my knowledge they only have a 32-bit version and not a 64-bit version (and lack of a 64-bit version would be a deal killer). ISO download "Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop is the Foundation’s operating system for PC and Mac. You can create a live disc, run it in a virtual machine, or even install it on your computer. Raspberry Pi Desktop comes pre-installed with plenty of software for education, programming and general use; including Python, Scratch, Sonic Pi, Java, and more." https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-desktop/ Scratch and Sonic Pi and LibreOffice could be deleted (or better yet, their install scripts could be commented out). What would be left would Python and Java environment with IDLE, Thony, Leafpad and Nano; perfect for OSGEO Live. Thonny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwIgxrXP-X4 GitHub https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/ Announcement of Raspberry Pi Desktop (Raspbian) for X86 based on Debian "Stretch": "Today, we are launching the first Debian Stretch release of the Raspberry Pi Desktop for PCs and Macs, and we’re also releasing the latest version of Raspbian Stretch for your Pi." https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/stretch-pcs-macs-raspbian-update/ I have used OSGEO Live, Ubuntu and Raspbian and while I love the GIS applications, the Raspbian interface though very similar is easier to use in a variety of subtle ways. I have downloaded and installed OSGEO Live 11 Linux on my Lenovo T560 Thinkpad. Prior to installing OSGEO Live, I installed Ubuntu Linux 16.04 on the same Thinkpad and before that I experimented with Raspbian Linux on a Raspberry Pi 3 . I plan to download and install Raspbian for the X86 next week. In addition to the minor benefit of being easier for me to use (outweighed by the massive inconvenience to the entire OSGEO Live team) would be the ability of millions of students to graduate from Raspbian to OSGEO Live 12 and for their to eventually be an OSGEO Live for the Raspberry Pi (when the foundation moves from the current Raspberry Pi 3 to a future Pi 4 or Pi 5). Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 can run PostgreSQL, but I doubt if a Raspberry Pi 3 could run PostgreSQL and QGIS in one gigabyte of RAM at the same time! Anyway, that's a newbees two cents.
