I help coordinate the packaging of OSGeo-Live, which is a marketing DVD
of pre-configured Open Source GeoSpatial applications on a DVD handed
out at Spatial conferences around the world. It also contains consistent
documentation which is now being translated into multiple languages.
(Also available here: http://live.osgeo.org
Some of our DVD users have suggested that it would be great to see
THREDDS included on this DVD. As such, I'm reaching out to see if there
is an interest from the THEDDS community.
The process for including a package on OSGeoLive is explained here:

I'm interested to hear thoughts or answer questions from THEDDS
developers about the process.

We are starting to build the 5.0 OSGeo-Live <http://live.osgeo.org>
DVD which will be released at FOSS4G 2011 <http://2011.foss4g.org/>
this September where it will be handed out to all delegates. We would
like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to OSGeo-Live,
anyone who would like to use OSGeo-Live in workshops, tutorials or
similar, or anyone who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming
release.
Which project version?
Could each installed project please update our status sheet to note
the expected version to be installed on OSGeo-Live 5.0. Status sheet

Key Priorities for next release
Disk Space
We are reaching DVD size limits, and need to be creative about
saving space
Package Updates
Update and test latest stable software releases
Quickstart Reviews
We have Project Quickstarts, but many haven't gone through
comprehensive review yet.
Translations
We have varying levels of translations, and would like to increase
that.
Testing
With Quality being a key focus area for us, we need lots of help
with testing.
