It is possible that we could get through the entire OpenLayers material in a day, but it would be cutting it close.  Tim Schaub (our OpenLayers lead) is out on vacation so I do not have his syllabus yet.”

Note that the beginning (OpenLayers Intro) stuff is probably based on
  http://workshops.opengeo.org/openlayers-intro/
in some way; this is the workshop that OpenLayers has been used at 
conferences and presented by Tim/OpenGeo in the past.

Some of the other materials are probably available from:

  http://workshops.opengeo.org/

If people are interested, and can provide a facility, I can probably do 
a presentation based entirely on OpenLayers that would be up to one day;
the OpenLayers intro content is something I've helped present in the past,
and in that time, it took ~3 hours.

(Obviously, I'm not OpenGeo, so this would have to be an 'as-is' training 
on a weekend day or something like that, but I'm happy to put something
like that together if people are interested; our last meeting turned
half in to that either, and if I could do it with a set of computers in 
front of people, that would probably be way better for everyone :))

With OpenLayers being the least documented part of the OS family of products, that would be my choice.  Or alternatively, all the course material could be covered generally with more emphasis on one product, say OpenLayers.
