[Ica-osgeo-labs] Call for EGU 2016 short course - OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Raffaele,
I suggest the starting point for training documentation should be the 
Quickstarts. They are probably the right length and depth for a 90 
minute course split between multiple projects.
I agree that you would be able to cover all of them. Maybe 4 to 6.

The bonus of using the quickstarts directly will be that you have a the 
chance to update the OSGeo-Live material directly, which will improve 
the quality of OSGeo-Live.

Material here:
http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html

I'd suggest also watch the current discussion about OGC Standards and 
training. (Copying email from Luis below)
