    Hello All:<br>
    I've collected some thoughts concerning the proposed short course on
    OSGeo Live at the EGU2016 conference on the wiki page:<br>
    <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Geoscience_Committee#Overview:_OSGeo-related_short_courses_at_EGU_2016">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Geoscience_Committee#Overview:_OSGeo-related_short_courses_at_EGU_2016</a><br>
    <br>
    This is based on ideas that I got from the OSGeo Live folks during
    their weekly chat sessions.  I'd be glad to hear any feedback you
    might have, and of course anyone who wants to volunteer to fill in
    one of the spots is most welcome. <br>
    <br>
    But time is short, so I'll try to compose a syllabus and submit for
    a short course, in order to get a time slot. (I believe that has not
    been done yet by anyone?). I expect <60 participants, so we can
    select two time slots of 90 minutes each. <br>
    <br>
    Any other thoughts?<br>
    <br>
    Best wishes for a happy and prosperous year,<br>
    Micha<br>
