[thredds] Would THREDDS like to be included on OSGeo-Live DVD?

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:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project
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 <https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB#gid=8>. 


    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.

    We have varying levels of translations, and would like to increase
that. 
Testing

with testing.
