Hello Peter<br>
Thanks for the update. <br>
As you know I have requested two slots for the OSGeo Live short
course:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/22294">http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/22294</a><br>
<br>
Success of these sessions will depend on two things: <br>
* additional presenters coming forward, who are willing to give a
quick start and demo of one or more or the software applications on
the Live DVD<br>
* availability of USB drives containing the VirtualBox installation
file, and a ready to go VM.<br>
<br>
Any help on these is welcome.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Micha<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear all,
good news:
The main FOSS-themed session in ESSI (ESSI3.5/GI1.5 "Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinformatics and Geosciences") has once again received a significant number of submissions. Most of them seem to come from outside the OSGeo community. I see this as an indicator that there will be an interested audience for the OSgeo Live short courses. FWIW, it is still possible to sumbit an abstract via the "late abstract" mode.
The participants list of last years OSGeo Townhall is available in the wiki: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/EGU_Townhall_2015#Audience">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/EGU_Townhall_2015#Audience</a>
This might be useful to inform researchers in advance of the conference about the upcoming short course (and hopefully the townhall [<-- Funding decision will be made by the OSgeo Board by the end of the month])
Best,
Peter
