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.

*About OSGeo-Live*
OSGeo-live is a Lubuntu based distribution of Geospatial Open
Source Software, available via a Live DVD, Virtual Machine and
