OSGeoLive starting build cycle for OSGeoLive 13.0

1 March 2019

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience? The build cycle for the next OSGeoLive release 13.0, is going to start. The final version is planned to be ready at 30th July 2019 in time for FOSS4G 2019 in Bucharest [1]. Have a look at our schedule for the detailed steps [2].

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

For this release, we hope to help OSGeo Community projects join OSGeoLive, and work out how we can keep within our size constraints.

We'd love to build a cloud version of OSGeoLive for this release. It would make OSGeoLive, and OSGeo software much more accessible. It seems elusively achievable, but we haven't worked it out yet. If you think you could help, we'd love to hear from you.

Are you a programmer or packager with experience in one of the Open Source GIS applications. Are you a technical writer interested in making FOSS4G accessible to all? Are you interested in helping update translations to latest documents on Transifex [3] [4].

Contact us

If you would like to add a new project, help us to get in the cloud or have another goal you would like to work on and get involved you are very welcome.

Please join the OSGeoLive mailing list [5] or meet us on IRC at our weekly meeting.
