But, I do get your point. The U of AZ School of Information Resources and Library Science (my institution) has just been awarded a major IMLS research grant (see <a href="http://imls.gov/news/2008/091008a_list.shtm#AZ" rel="nofollow">http://imls.gov/news/2008/091008a_list.shtm#AZ</a>) and part of that involves dissemination. I'll be posting at least a couple preconfigured VMs after this fall's advanced digital collection classes conclude (I want to see what we run into to make sure the images are solid). And although I haven't tried them yet, there are some posts on the net that discuss how to convert a vmware image to virtual box. So, I think this will come together over the next few months. I'll post back anything related to Omeka here. </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-ubuntu-vmware-win-or-mac#post-622 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:11:50 +0000 msilva 622@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>If you could provide a pre-configured Ubuntu VM with Omeka, I think that would really go a long way to get a lot of people started. The thing is, as a Mac user, I'd be cutoff because there is no free vmware player (although they exist for Windows and Linux). You could maybe also release a pre-configured VirtualBox VM, as it is free in all 3 platforms, if you have the spare time or know someone that does. </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-ubuntu-vmware-win-or-mac#post-599 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 03:04:12 +0000 AlGordon 599@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Thanks Bruce, all seems to be working fine now...hope you escape the storms!</p> <p>Alastair </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-ubuntu-vmware-win-or-mac#post-597 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:44:04 +0000 brucefulton 597@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Much of the UA infrastructure was down this am due to storms and power outages.

We also will be very interested in feedback from your class on their Omeka experiences.</p> <p>Do you mind if we post this on our Codex?</p> <p>Sheila </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-ubuntu-vmware-win-or-mac#post-589 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:30:43 +0000 brucefulton 589@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>I've created a fairly detailed document explaining how to install Omeka in a VMWare virtual machine running Ubuntu Linux on Mac (VMWare Fusion) and Windows (VMWare server and workstation) desktop platforms. This is useful for demo/development/checkout/ and classroom instruction. It may also help with installation procedures on a standalone Ubuntu server. The document is available at <a href="http://digin.arizona.edu/files/omeka.pdf." rel="nofollow">http://digin.arizona.edu/files/omeka.pdf.</a> If you have questions or comments, let me know. If there is demand, I could also provide a downloadable pre-configured virtual machine. We're using this and other virtualized digital repository applications in our Advanced Digital Collections course for the University of Arizona's Digital Information Management Certificate program (http://digin.arizona.edu), which, by the way, is also partially funded by IMLS. </p>
