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:

Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Peter
Thanks for your follow-up. Here [1] are the details I entered for the
short course.
So far we have a few volunteers [2] who are willing to take on parts
of the presentation. I have contacted Mike Smith about financing a
batch of USB drives to hand out to SC participants. He seems willing
to reimburse if I purchase and prepare the disks. I have no idea how
many disks to buy. Any input from people who participated in earlier
EGU events is welcome.
So we're good to go, so far. Just looking for more people to join and
do part of the demo/tutorial. I'll initiate direct contact with those
who expressed an interest, and try to finalize the list of presenters.
Best regards,
Micha

Hi Micha, all,
I just wanted to ask about the current status of the planning for the Short
Courses.
As far as I understand the dates remain to be settled (or Copernicus will do
this) and volunteers to present OSGeo projects in the course(s) need to be
found. 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.
FWIW, the EGU GA continues to grow. In the 2016 the number of abstracts rose by
2000 to about 17.000 abstracts for all Divisions. Chances are good we will meet
many FOSS-interested scientists in Vienna :-)
Best,
Peter
