Starting build cycle for OSGeoLive 12 and call for translators ¶

28 February 2018

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience? The build cycle for the next OSGeoLive release, 12.0, is going to start in 3 weeks at OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 in Bonn [1]. The final version is planned to be ready at 2nd August 2018 in time for FOSS4G 2018 in Dar Es Saalam [2]. Have a look at our schedule for the the detailed steps [3].

Till then we have many challenges - from simple to challenging, to help describe and train people in the value of Open Source GIS.

Translation ¶

Are you multi-lingual and interested in Open Source GIS? At the end of 2017 we moved the translation of OSGeoLive to transifex [4] and we still have many open translations. How about help translate one or two of the Project Overviews or Quickstarts? Have a look at our translation guide [5] to get involved.

Packages ¶

Are you a programmer or packager with experience in one of the Open Source GIS applications. Are you interested in helping update a project to the latest version.
