What is OSGeoLive?

50+ Open Source Geospatial Applications
Sample Datasets
Consistent Overviews & Quickstarts
Translations

DVD / USB / Virtual Machine

Quality Criteria

Established, stable, working software
Active community

Production & Marketing Pipeline

OSGeo-Live provides a production and marketing pipeline, providing value to a whole range of user groups.

Developers who package and support testing of their applications on OSGeo-Live get their applications marketed at conferences, workshops and on the web.

Document writers get their documentation reviewed, translated into multiple languages and published.

Translators are provided with quality source documentation, and a publish through OSGeo web pages.

Conference organisors welcome presentations which explain the breadth of Geospatial Open Source, often having a VIP present a derivative of the OSGeo-Live during keynote presentations, and adding value to delegates by giving away an OSGeo-Live DVD or USB.

Geospatial educators and workshop presenters use the stable OGeo-Live Virtual Machine or USB for practical class room settings.

Which all leads to Architects and Developers discovering, and then incorporating Open Source Geospatial software in their projects.

GRASS GIS

GRASS GIS provides powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing. It includes tools for spatial modeling, visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps.

It includes over 400 built-in analysis modules and 100 community supplied modules and toolboxes.

With over 30 years of continuous development, GRASS is both the oldest and largest Open Source GIS available. It is capable of very powerful analysis, but may not be as simple to get started with as other offerings with more of a geodata viewer focus. Many Open Source projects make use of GRASS's algorithms.

PostGIS - Spatial Database

PostGIS spatially enables the popular PostgreSQL object-relational database, allowing it to be used as a back-end database for geographic information systems and web-mapping applications in the same manner as Oracle Spatial enables the Oracle database.

PostGIS is stable, fast, standards compliant, comes with hundreds of spatial functions and is currently the most widely used Open Source spatial database.

PostGIS is used by diverse organisations from around the world, including risk-averse government agencies and organisations storing terabytes of data and serving millions of web requests per day.

Database administration is available via pgAdmin and other tools. Importing and exporting data is provided by various converter tools and there are numerous desktop and browser GIS clients for viewing PostGIS data.

SpatiaLite - Lightweight Database

SpatiaLite adds spatial functionality to the popular SQLite database.

SQLite is a self-contained, zero-administration, relational database, which can pre-built into applications without needing a database server. Each SQLite data store is kept in one file, which can easily be copied between platforms and around the internet without complication.

R - Statistical Programing

R is a powerful, widely-used software environment for statistical computing and graphics which excels at analyzing and processing geographic data sets. Geospatial analysis capabilities provide access to a large number of traditional and state of the art algorithms.

R and its packages are able to process point, line, polygon and grid data. Users can accomplish a broad array of tasks such as: image classification and statistical analysis to infer spatial relationships and patterns of features.

The core R interface is a command line window which provides excellent flexibility and control but tends to lengthen the time required to become a proficient user when compared to a graphical user interface. Fortunately R is well documented which eases the learning process.
