OSGeo Live is a live image based on Lubuntu that contains a variety of open source geospatial software:
https://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html
The current release of OSGeo Live (10.0) contains GeoServer 2.8.3, which is no longer supported. I have volunteered to upgrade GeoServer to 2.10.1 for OSGeo Live 10.5. This upgrade presents an opportunity to add more content to match recent GeoServer developments.
I am considering adding more plugins. The current image contains the INSPIRE and CSS extensions and the entire HTML docs (yay!). Nice things to demonstrate might include the NetCDF plugin which is newly in GeoServer supported-land. There was also interest in GeoGig.
OSGeo Live 10.5 release schedule:
Feature freeze: 20 January 2017
Final ISO release: 10 March 2017
Questions:
(1) What things could be upgraded or added to the OSGeo Live image to make it more useful to members of the GeoServer community? Would additional plugins enhance OSGeo Live?
(2) Is anyone interested in contributing a small amount of tutorial material? A subset of the multidimensional coverage tutorial might be a useful demonstration of the NetCDF and NetCDF-out plugins.
(3) The OSGeo Live developers are also moving translations to Transifex and are soliciting contributions of translations. If anyone wants to contribute translations to OSGeo Live, please let me know.
