OSGeo live DVD released - Tellus included in it!

The latest version of the OSGeo Live GIS Disc was officially released yesterday. The aim of this project is to provide bootable ISO-Images and 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 latest version is called Arramagong 3.0 and includes Unofficial gvSIG Mobile for Linux v. 0.1.6, whose main functionality is the feature synchronization, using the module from the Tellus repository.

The mascot of Arramagong 3.0 is this nice wombat (Australian marsupial).

The project which uses OpenMIS and gvSIGMobile is named Tellus, reference to the goddess of Earth in Roman mythology.
Tellus has got three main ways of development :
* A real mecanism of map synchronisation based on the OpenMobileIS synchronisation engine to resolve the differents types of conflicts which could appends. And an optimisation of networks transfers based on the BitTorrent protocol.
* Providing a framework of development to allow interactions and communications between gvSIGMobile and an OpenMIS mobile application.
* Offering a real security for the datas GIS and IS during the synchronisation process and on the mobile tool.
