Greetings,
Our plan at the moment is quite simple. We're installing the java stack
onto the Ominiverde live cd image, and doing whatever configuration and
default project setup that we can do by COB Tuesday
<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=9&day=16&year=2008&hour=17&min=0&sec=0&p1=240>,
though it may take some time after that to upload to the server. At
this point, we're basically passing the reigns to the next person that
wants to add some apps, either fvanderbiest or jsanz.
My understanding of the current configuration and what we expect to add
is attached. I don't have sizes for the data we're adding for three
reasons, I'm still downloading it, I need to crop it to Africa's bbox,
and I'm not sure if we'll have time to get it loaded in any useful
manner. If it gets in, I expect it to be well under 1GB, for a total
size of somewhere under 2.2GB. We haven't bothered looking at getting
the image size to fit a CD, since the Ominiverde image is already too
big. Ideally we would want both a CD and a DVD, but there really isn't
time.
Since our timeline is tight any feedback, while always welcome, need
come quickly. Who would like to step up to take ownership of the image
next, what will you add and how much time will you need?
