[Workshops] Re: FOSS4G Workshop Reminders

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

I'm curious how far we can go with the "short README.txt file with 
install instructions."

In previous years, the instructions have included things like 
configuring certain services to run at startup and proxy configuration 
for Apache.

For example, in the OpenLayers workshop, GeoServer was running on all 
machines and proxied via http://localhost:80/geoserver by Apache.  In 
addition, we had a http://localhost/ol_workshop alias that pointed to 
the root of our workshop directory.

Are these reasonable instructions (with more detail) to include this year?

Also, can you suggest any practical limits on the size of the data we 
should upload?

Thanks,
Tim
