Hi,


now that the rush to get things done before the FOSS4G2008 conference has passed, I feel it is an appropriate time to spin off the conversation
about 2009 LiveDiscs to a new OSGeo mailing list. Especially if it will
be based around Xubuntu and not DebianGIS's liveDisc.
   http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo

of course anything pertinent to syncing with DebianGIS's liveDisc and
source .deb packages will always be welcome here.
   http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis/LiveImages

I'd be really stoked if scripts and package lists for both were kept in a
single SVN & wiki. Otherwise the less developed partner will always be far
out of sync and drift away; dilution of our limited dev effort; etc.


thanks,
Hamish
