  1. May 2024

The build cycle for the next OSGeoLive release 17.0, has started. Our base operating system for the new version is Lubuntu 24.04.

The first alpha version of OSGeoLive 17.0 has been released. Please download [1], test and report any issues found [2]. The final version is planned to be ready in October 2024 to be ready for FOSS4G 2024 in Bélem (Brasilia) [3].

Please have a look at our schedule for the detailed steps [4].

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!

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience? 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 Weblate [5]?

If you would like to add a new project or have another goal you would like to work on and get involved you are very welcome.
