- January 2023
Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience?
The build cycle for the next OSGeoLive release 16.0, has started. Our base operating system for the new version is Lubuntu 22.04.1. The first alpha version of OSGeoLive 16.0 has been released. Please download [1], test and report any issues found [2]. The final version is planned to be ready in May 2023. Please have a look at our schedule for the detailed steps [3].
Until then we have many challenges - from simple to challenging, to help describe and train people in the value of Open Source GIS.
We are looking for new projects For this release, we hope to help OSGeo Community projects join OSGeoLive, and work out how we can keep within our size constraints.
You are welcome to join our team!
