&lt;br /&gt;
Promotional email template for advertising Demo sessions, lightning talks and code sprint:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TODO - hive off promotional letter onto a separate page.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dear OSGEO project leaders!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would be most grateful if you could forward the following message (redacted to the part &lt;br /&gt;
between ---- 's below) on to your project mailing list(s).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best regards&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tim Sutton (FOSS4G2008 Code Sprint, Lightning Talks &amp;amp; Demo session coordinator)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Free and Open Source Geospatial Conference 2008 (FOSS4G2008)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FOSS4G2008 will be taking place this year in September / October in South Africa. FOSS4G is a &lt;br /&gt;
an annual gathering place for Free and Open Source  projects with a geospatial leaning. The conference venue &lt;br /&gt;
is the Cape Town International Conference Center (CTICC) in the Foreshore area of Cape Town - the beautiful &lt;br /&gt;
'mother city' of South Africa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Demo Sessions:&lt;br /&gt;
=======================&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will be holding a demo theatre during tea breaks and lunch times. Demos are a great way to show off your &lt;br /&gt;
work to decision makers, GIS professionals and fellow code crunchers. The demos will be restricted to 10 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
 each (including questions and setup time) so they need to be brief and to the point. If you would like to demo &lt;br /&gt;
your project, something you have achieved with FOSS geospatial, or anything else relevant to a geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
practitioner audience, you can register by following the instructions provided on the demo wiki page here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_Demos&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lightning Talks:&lt;br /&gt;
=======================&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the plenary session on Monday 29 July, there will be eight lightning talks of 5 minutes each. Time limits&lt;br /&gt;
 will be strictly adhered to and we are looking for the most entertaining, thought provoking and informative &lt;br /&gt;
speeches possible. The speeches will be presented to the entire conference. If you are interested in making a &lt;br /&gt;
lightning speech, or know of any good candidates to give such a speech, please visit the lightning talks wiki &lt;br /&gt;
page to register your interest here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_LightningTalks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Code Sprint:&lt;br /&gt;
=======================&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will be holding an all day code sprint on Saturday 4 October - the day following the end of the main &lt;br /&gt;
conference activities. Given that most FOSS projects are conducted as virtual collaborations over the internet,&lt;br /&gt;
 the code sprint is a rare opportunity for you to get together in person with other developers in your project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint is also a great opportunity for those who are interested in getting involved in a project to go &lt;br /&gt;
and meet the developers face to face and get some help in getting started with development. If you are not a &lt;br /&gt;
developer, but interested in other aspects of project development, (documentation, creating demonstrator &lt;br /&gt;
implementations of software etc.) the code sprint is an equally good opportunity to collaborate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will provide a venue, lunch and refreshments, internet connection and flip charts. If you have other special &lt;br /&gt;
requirements let us know and we will see what we can do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to provide the very best experience for you it would be helpful to get an idea of how many people are &lt;br /&gt;
likely to attend. We have created a Wiki page at:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_CodeSprint&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On this page you can create a section for your project and list the people planning to attend. The page also &lt;br /&gt;
provides a space to help you organise your code sprint day by writing up the goals and preparation work &lt;br /&gt;
needed for your sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact Info:&lt;br /&gt;
=======================&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint, lightning talks &amp;amp; demo session organiser is Tim Sutton (tim@linfiniti.com) - &lt;br /&gt;
if you have any questions or special requirements, please don't hesitate to ask. If you haven't &lt;br /&gt;
already registered for the conference, we advise doing so as soon as possible to secure your &lt;br /&gt;
place. Visit the conference registration page at:&lt;br /&gt;

== Web Marketing ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Placing banner ads one some of the high-traffic open source project sites is a huge source of referrals.  The 2007 conference web site received the majority of its referrals from open source web site announcements, with GRASS as the top site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following sites need to be approached to do banner placement:&lt;br /&gt;
* GRASS (Markus Neteler)&lt;br /&gt;
* PostGIS (Paul Ramsey) &lt;br /&gt;
* Mapserver (Steve Lime). Jeff McKenna placed banner on [http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ MapServer] home page on 9 April. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= About =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo Live] provides [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD bootable ISO-Images] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine Virtual Machines] which allow users to try out fully-operational versions of popular Free Geospatial Software without the need to install a thing. Everything is set up for you ready to go: just reboot into it, glance at the help pages on the desktop, and go. The existing hard drive and operating system will not be modified in any way, everything happens in temporary system memory. As such it will run a bit slower than the &amp;quot;real thing&amp;quot; and you may want to grab a USB flash drive to save or transfer files with. You can load and boot a live-image completely from a USB stick too if you prefer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do this in large part by maintaining automated build scripts which collect many [[OSGeo]] programs and sample data-sets together, and then combine them to form the Live disc or VM itself. By tweaking these scripts users are free to make their own custom distributions, for example localized in their own language and with local map data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For the [http://2009.foss4g.org/ 2009 FOSS4G conference] a snapshot of Free Geospatial software has been collected onto the [http://arramagong.com Arramagong Live DVD and VM].&lt;br /&gt;
: ''The Arramagong Live DVD &amp;amp; VM contains a collection of the best Geospatial Open Source software, pre-configured with sample data. The DVD and Virtual Machine are available for download at http://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html . Refer to [[Live GIS Disc Quick Start]] to get started.''&lt;br /&gt;

== Issue Tracker==&lt;br /&gt;
Our bug and wish tracker is [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?group=status&amp;amp;component=LiveDVD&amp;amp;order=priority hosted at OSGeo's Trac system]. To distinguish the LiveDVD project from other OSGeo projects, use the following conventions:&lt;br /&gt;
; Component field&lt;br /&gt;
: Set to `&amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;LiveDVD&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt;`&lt;br /&gt;
; Keywords:&lt;br /&gt;
: Version: Set to base release version: eg: 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 (not 4.5alpha1)&lt;br /&gt;
: Application: Set to application with issue (use lower case): eg: &amp;quot;geoserver&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/report/10 List of open tickets]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&amp;amp;status=assigned&amp;amp;status=reopened&amp;amp;component=LiveDVD&amp;amp;keywords=%7E4.0&amp;amp;order=priority Just those concerning the 4.0 release]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&amp;amp;status=assigned&amp;amp;status=reopened&amp;amp;component=LiveDVD&amp;amp;keywords=%7E4.5&amp;amp;order=priority Just those concerning the 4.5 release]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=closed&amp;amp;group=type&amp;amp;order=priority&amp;amp;component=LiveDVD List of tickets already fixed]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OSGeo User Id ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Create an OSGeo id: http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid , which is required to edit the wiki, commit to svn and create an issue in the issue tracker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Subversion ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Subversion: For config files and build scripts. You should always update from the server before editing a file, and always check the diff is as you intended before committing.&lt;br /&gt;
** Repository: https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk and [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk web view]&lt;br /&gt;
** On Linux systems: access Subversion using:&lt;br /&gt;
 svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** On windows systems, install [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Tortoise Subversion], which extends Windows Explorer to include subversion commands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To get commit access, you need to create yourself a user id, as per http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid, then ask cameronDOTshorter.AT.lisasoftDOTcom to add you to the [https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py?group=osgeo osgeo] user group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first thing you should do to test your svn install is to add your name the contributors list:&lt;br /&gt;
 cd trunk/doc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 # to edit a file&lt;br /&gt;
 svn update contributors.csv&lt;br /&gt;
 # edit contributors.csv&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 # optionally check to see what has changed.&lt;br /&gt;
 svn diff contributors.csv&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 # check the file back into subversion&lt;br /&gt;
 svn commit contributors.csv&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 # to add a file&lt;br /&gt;
 cd &amp;lt;dir&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 # create a file&lt;br /&gt;
 svn add &amp;lt;file&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 svn propset svn:mime-type &amp;lt;mime.type&amp;gt; &amp;lt;file&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 svn commit &amp;lt;file&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 # to move or rename a file&lt;br /&gt;
 svn move &amp;lt;file&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 svn commit &amp;lt;file&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On windows, it is even easier, using [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Tortoise SVN] which plugs directly into Windows Explorer.&lt;br /&gt;

= Use Cases =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are multiple use cases for this product:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Demo DVD''' that can be handed out at conferences.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;This will contain a wide variety of applications, preconfigured with some sample data and containing introductory tutorials.  It should be able to function completely offline, at least within the scope of the tutorials, and should provide an introduction to many products.  This is very much a Live DVD, and as such should be conservative with regards to size (it will be run from RAM).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Education DVD'''&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;This seems to be a more involved version than the Demo DVD, including more involved material, including train-the-trainer style material.  This is targeted at those who will be teaching others, be it in workshops or university classes/labs.  My expectation (mleslie: feel free to correct me) is that this is more likely to be installed on machines and used as a teaching resource, as opposed to a toy to play with, as with the Demo DVD.  This will require material developed through the [[Category:Education|Education initiative]].&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Workstation Install DVD'''&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  This need was seen in Cape Town, where the bandwidth seems to be a very limiting factor.  Using the DVD to install either a complete OS, a set of packages to an existing Linux, or Windows installers completely offline is of great value in the developing world.  Would it be of greater value to lose the Edu or demo material and put in complete application documentation?&lt;br /&gt;
