  The OSGeo Community has released the latest OSGeo-Live [2] reference
distribution of geospatial open-source software, version 9.5. Once
again, people across the globe can depend on OSGeo-Live to provide
robust, ready-to-use installations of all key open source geospatial
applications, along with overviews and examples.
  "With two new applications added, 22 applications updated, all based
upon 8 years of continuous developments and refinements, we believe this
to be our most stable, usable, and feature rich distribution to date",
said Angelos Tzotsos, OSGeo-Live build manager.
  "We are pleased to be seeing steady increased adoption of OSGeo-Live
from educational programs, complementing the already wide use at
geospatial conferences and workshops", said Cameron Shorter, one of the
OSGeo-Live coordinators.
