[Live-demo] EGU Short Courses

[Cameron Shorter]

Micha, Peter,
With regards to an OSGeo-Live based course, we do have an abstract which 
you can make use of or customise:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/presentation/workshop_abstract.txt

The assumption would be that you run through the existing quickstarts in 
the documentation.

If you are still looking for presenters, you might want to look at the 
OSGeo Advocate list and approach likely candidates directly:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate

Warm regards, Cameron

By now everybody who submitted abstracts should have gotten feedback regarding acceptance so we can determine who'll be able to attend the meeting and might be willing to volunteer.
>> My knowledge about Short Courses is limited. Do we have anybody in the group who participated or presented in EGU Short Courses in the past ? This would be very usefuly information about how to make the most of the Short Courses, the Townhall and the sessions.
