Re: [Live-demo] EGU Short Courses

[Micha Silver]

I am also disappointed that I won't be able to participate. Perhaps you could oversee the short course, without actually presenting any specific lesson. We can try, together, to find someone who feels comfortable doing the VM setup, someone else to present GRASS, QGIS, the python notebooks, etc, etc. But a single coordinator is still needed. What do you think?   ------ Original Message ------ Subject: Re: [Live-demo] EGU Short Courses Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 18:37:13 +0100 To: Micha Silver, Peter Loewe, Opengeoscience, Live-demo From: Raffaele Albano On 16/03/16 19:37, Raffaele Albano wrote: Hi Micha, I'm sorry that you cannot participate to EGU this year and we cannot meet there. I can not lead the short course because I feel not expert in the installation and set-up of the OSGEO Live platform. I hope we can found another volunteer that can lead it. Of course, I can support him/her for example of some geospatial software application. Yours, Raffaele 2016-03-16 18:23 GMT+01:00 Micha Silver <mi...@arava.co.il>: Hello all Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the EGU2016 conference. Funding was cut, so I have to cancel my trip. I hope someone will come forward and take the lead for the OSGeo Live short course (Raffaele?) which is still scheduled. I can still assist remotely if necessary. For example, I can prepare USB sticks with the latest version 9.5 as a ready to use VM, and ship them in advance to whomever volunteers to hand them out at the short course.

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.

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 <peter.lo...@gmx.de> This mail was received via Mail-SeCure System.
