| | 5 | After much hard work from the OSGeo-Live build team, we release today the first alpha version of OSGeo-Live 10.0. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | It is based on the new Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Long Term Support (LTS). Over the last 6 weeks since Ubuntu 16.04 was released, we have ported the entire build system to the new LTS and we merged packaging effort from DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS, bringing most of the recent geospatial packages to Xenial. The result is now shared with the OSGeo community through the updated UbuntuGIS repositories (Testing and Unstable). |

| | 9 | We encourage all OSGeo-Live projects to download OSGeo-Live alpha1 [1], test your project with this new release and make sure it works as expected. If your project is missing from the iso, it means that the installer failed completely and needs extra attention from you. Please report back issues to our Trac instance [2] (and let us know what you have tested on our mailing list live-demo@lists.osgeo.org. We track this information in our status spreadsheet [3]). We love pro-active projects we don't have to chase, so please prepare your code to work on the new LTS and send us a pull request with your installer changes. |

| | 11 | We have a lot of work to do and a tight schedule if we are to release in time for [http://2016.foss4g.org/home.html FOSS4G in Bonn]. Our next milestone is to reach beta stage by the end of June. |
