 The [http://arramagong.com Arramagong Live DVD], [http://gisvm.com GISVM], and [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc OSGeo Live-Demo] projects are collaborating to create a set of simple, automated install scripts for a wide variety of Free and Open Source GIS projects, and we're calling on each project to help us write a script for their software. Projects that can write their install script this week will be included on The Arramamgong Live DVD which will be given to all delegates at the [http://2009.foss4g.org FOSS4G] conference.
@@ Line 9: / Line 7: @@
 The scripts should cover the installation and configuration of each project into a base [http://www.xubuntu.org/ Xubuntu] 9.04 system. Separate scripts can optionally cover data, demos and tutorials. As a bonus, these scripts are exactly what packagers require to bundle your project into Debian and Ubuntu, so you will be taking the first steps toward getting your project into a Linux distribution.

 As we are still bootstrapping the packaging project, and as we are very short on time before feature freeze, manual steps can be included as comments in each install script, and can be automated by a project member, or packager at a later date.
