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.

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](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](http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/overview/overview.html)
And docs are in git here: [https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc](https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc)

Hi Markus,

I already fixed the quickstart with some new examples.

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:
http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/qgis_quickstart.html

Nicolas' review as a git pull request here:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/108

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.
