OSGeo-Live 6.5 has been released! For this release, geospatial applications have been updated to their latest stable release. A strong focus was the quality of the quick start documentation. Here, consistency and readability has been improved through step-by-step testing.

With this version, you can try running instances of the following 52°North service implementations:

  • 52°North SOS version 3.5 Just go to Geospatial → Web Services → Start 52°North SOS to start testing. Firefox will open with three tabs:
    • a client to test the SOS
    • a quick start page to get things started
    • a documentation page about the 52°North SOS implementation
  • 52°North WPS version 3.1.0 Just go to Geospatial → Web Services → Start 52°North WPS to start testing:
    • a simple client to test the WPS
    • a quick start page to get things started
    • a documentation page about the 52°North WPS implementation
  • 52°North WSS version 2.2.0 Just go to Geospatial → Web Services → Start 52°North WSS to start testing:
    • a client to test the WSS
    • a quick start page to get things started
    • a documentation page about the 52°North WSS implementation

Just give it a try and test a lot of geospatial applications without installing any of them. The OSGeo Live DVD contains software for the following categories, and it is all FOSS:

Online demo resources are available on the communities’ demo servers:

I hope you enjoy testing our SOS, WPS and WSS.
