=== Ideas collected for the introductionary short course at EGU 2016 ===

* Introductory course to OSGeo-Live, duration 90 minutes, preferably during lunch break.
* Material that could be presented include gsoc work of Massimo Di Stefano (aka 'epifanio'), a series of educational material based on OSGeo-Live, featuring the main software included in the distro.
* epifanio made himself available to create ad-hoc material in collaboration with those who will be giving the course. In fact, at present the main issue remains that we don't have a lecturer.

=== OSGeo Townhall ===

==== Scope ====
(Source: EGU Page)
''"Townhall meetings are meetings open to all conference participants. At townhall meetings, new initiatives or decisions are announced to a larger audience, followed by an open discussion on the matter raised.

Anyone may organize such a townhall meeting subject to approval by the programme committee chair. Townhall meetings will take place Monday–Tuesday, 18–19 April 2016, and Thursday–Friday, 21–22 April 2016, 19:00–20:00, in the lecture rooms of the congress centre. Applications need the prior approval by the programme committee chair. Upon acceptance, the respective meeting will appear in the townhall meetings programme as a regular session."''
