This is pretty cool...

Can we look at mirroring it?

Thanks to the hard work Doktoreas (aka Luca Casagrande) did, we have now
a stable version for 2007.0 and an ongoing version 2007.1 waiting or
QGIS 0.8.1 more some fixes.
We invite everybody to download and test.
We are renting a professional hosting to manage downloads.
Please use the torrent if you know how to:
http://www.movedigital.com/go/doktoreas/t50015/livecd-i686-desktop-2007.0.iso.torrent
otherwise here we have the direct link:
http://www.movedigital.com/go/doktoreas/50015/livecd-i686-desktop-2007.0.iso
CD login:
user:ominiverdi
pass:ominiverdi
"sudo su" should give admin privileges.
we've set up a wiki page as documentation support and bug tracking
(until something better would be available).
This is the page for Desktop 2007.0 :
http://livecd.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php/Desktop_2007.0
there's a FOSS4G page in the wiki to define a common liveCD as we
debated two Fridays ago.
http://livecd.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php/FOSS4G2007_LiveCd
if you add software to the list it will probably included in 2007.1
comments and contributions are always welcome
thanks

John Graham already helped us for our first releases
http://telascience.sdsc.edu/tela_data/foss4g/ominiverdi/
but we see it's not that easy to update and we don't
want to leave dozen of testing liveCD around.
I was thinking of something more like a real mirror of your downloads directory than something that you would have to maintain with manual uploads.
This kind of 'ready-to-roll' open source geospatial stack is a _core_ requirement for OSGeo, and I think that we need to support the work that you guys are doing as much as possible.

Hi all
I have made copies http://telascience.sdsc.edu/tela_data/foss4g/ominiverdi/ let me know what you want and I can tweek 
We are getting 1.6TB more storage on the blades so I can start mirroring these on the servers that have OSGeo user access.. so it will be easy to manage...

Thank you John
I've updated our liveCd page with the link to your repo.
http://livecd.ominiverdi.org/index.php?page=LiveCD&toc=livecd
First feed backs are coming, ex:
--------------------------------
This is cool! What is the timeframe for a regular release? I use the
foss4g2006 laussane cd for my gis classes. Where you part of the
developer of the lausanne cd?
I'm currently downloading right now.
Can you add:
gpsbabel (qgis gps plugin and v.in.babel requires this)
josm (for OSM)
custom sample data:
I can make a sample data for the Philippines
How can I help?
Cheers,
Maning
---------------------------------
Really don't know if he's using the GDF liveCD or one of ours.
anyway gpsbabel will be added
other Josm, I have to admit my great admiration for OSM, but we have to decide if we want a Java stack liveCD different from the C and derivates one.
in this way we'll have 2 Desktop liveCD and 2 Server LiveCD.
what's your opinion?
ciao
Lorenzo
