<p>If you want to get a group of people together an already packed
conference, you can usually find a 1 hour slot at breakfast time
for a "Birds of a Feather" type meeting.</p>
<p>To involve newbies in a Code Sprint, one thing that would be
really valuable is to have them QA the OSGeo-Live quickstarts.
Many of the Quickstarts are dated, although we are not sure which
ones. If you could get newbies to run through the quickstarts,
have them list what they have checked, have them raise tickets
against issues, if they are keen, have them update screen shots.
It requires someone familiar with development practices and
ideally familiar with OSGeo-Live to coordinate.</p>
<p>OSGeo-Live also has a very good basis for creating a OSGeo
workshop for newbies. (Basically pick a few quickstarts, and run
them).</p>
<p>Feel free to reach out to us if you want to progress these ideas
further.</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div>Three options:</div>
<div>- I like the idea of running currently with the workshops,
running the same 1 hour workshop repeatedly during the day as
a "drop-in". Downside is not many people will be at the
conference yet.</div>
<div>- I like the idea of running concurrently with code-sprint
(visiting each project team), but once again most people will

<div>- I am not sure how to effectively do something
concurrently with the conference:</div>
<div> a) I like the idea of taking two BOF slots for drop-in
website bootcamp - but it is hard to compete with BOF+drinking
activities</div>
<div> b) Doing the high-level update in the AGM is fine, but
does not offer hands-on</div>
<div> c) need another idea here?</div>
