Great to see that we have both volunteers and ideas flowing for such
a workshop.<br>
<br>
I agree with the ideas being suggested so far, and am all for those
of you attending to agree amongst yourselves what the shape of the
workshop should look like.<br>
<br>
I think any such workshops are more valuable when you tap into the
personalities, and experience of the presenters.<br>
<br>
My thoughts for the presentation have been:<br>
* Quick introduction to Linux/Ubuntu<br>
<br>
* Optional: General overview of OSGeo / OGC / OGC standards<br>
<br>
* Walk through each category, eg Desktop GIS. Very briefly mention
each OSGeo project in the category (You can draw upon the OSGeo-Live
lightning presentation if you wish). Then pick one of the
applications in the category to explain the concepts. Eg, for
Desktop GIS you might choose QGIS. (The Quickstarts should hopefully
contain enough material for this).<br>
<br>
However, I'd prefer local attendees to take the lead and regarding
defining content.<br>
<br>
I'll leave it to those of you attending to coordinate amongst each
other. Hopefully one of you will volunteer to take the lead in
coordinating everyone?<br>
<br>
And hopefully we can get some updated training content which we can
build into our existing documentation base.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Cameron<br>

<div>It's not clear to me how an OSGeo Live workshop would
look like. 4 hours of going through each and every
Quickstart?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not really convinced that OSGeo Live makes a good
workshop. </div>
<div>But I think it's a perfect platform to use for every
workshop. Almost every FOSS4G event now encourages the use
of OSGeo Live (or makes it even mandatory).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just a few notes based on my experience with OSGeo Live
for my own workshop:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Installing a workshop package:<br>
It's practically impossible to include every workshop
on the ISO, but having to download and install
workshop material is always a point of failure and
just takes time I would like to use for the
workshop. Not sure there is an easy way to do this,
maybe a shared workshop directory, that has a link on
the Desktop?<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Very basic "Ubuntu Quickstart"<br>
I think for many workshop participants OSGeo Live is
the first time they use Ubuntu (Linux). It can be
tough to follow a workshop and have to use a
completely new OS. Maybe a Desktop background image
could provide the most important information (ie.
arrows pointing to application menu ...)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Reliability and speed of USB sticks<br>
It just happens too often, that USB sticks with OSGeo
Live don't work as expected for whatever reason. And
every event usually orders its own USB sticks from
their dealer of choice.</li>
</ul>
