===== Top 1: EGU GA 2016 =====
 
* ''OSGeo-related sessions''
 
Madi will create a sub page on [[Open_Geoscience_Committee/events | FOSS sessions and conferences]]
 
 
* ''Townhall preparation: Timeline / Volunteers''
 
 
Townhall topic and other details will be discussed later. Info about the past townhalls sits on the Wiki: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/EGU_Townhall_2015
 
 
Jeff lobbies OSGeo board to support Townhall even
 
 
Madi and Raffaele volunteer for the EGU Townhall preparation
 
 
* ''Short courses: OSGeo-Scope / Format / Timeline / Volunteers''
 
 
We  are planning for one short course during the lunch hours, focusing on OSGeoLive, and possibly a second one to cover more detailed topics. We can announce the event during the FOSS-themed sessions and the Townhall. Target groups are ECS (young scientists) representatives group, NH and others divisions.
 
 
OSGeo-related topics for short course:
 
# initial introduction on FOSS and OSGeo
 
# "integration" of several open source software  in a single workflow (use case) to accomplish very complex task in geospatial data analysis
 
# involve scientists that present in not deep way several tools and software
 
 
 
* Candidates for the second course (istSOS + PostGIS) need to be heard. topic of the second course needs to be discussed at a later time
 
 
* Epifanio offers technical support for the first on the osgeolive (for which I can not be directly involved in giving the workshop) and very interested in a second one more focused on sw libraries and tools
 
 
* Information about student grant opportunities need to be added to the Wiki.
 
 
* It remains to be determined which persons will give the short course(s) at EGU. The whole Open GeoScience group and ICA Geolabs should be contacted.
 
 
* Epifanio will contact Maxi to discuss/push istSOS integration in the live and setup a wiki page on the osgeo wiki to plan the  "Osgeolive-EGU-tuning
 
 
====== GSOC: Jupyter / Binder for OSGeo Live  ======
 
Use Integration of geospatial OSS in educational notebooks  (Jupyter/binder) on OSGeo Live (GSOC 2015 project) to omit standard OSGeo Live spin-up/installation hazzles:
 
 
 
* No Desktop applications included
 
* Focus on software libraries or any other project which has a command line interface (R, GRASS, OSSIM, GDAL, Python, etc .. )
 
* Having a web interface for each to the workshop materials will  simplify  enormously  the workshop logistic.
 
* Cloud platform based on binder (http://mybinder.org/)  essentially it give "life" to any repository which has a specific structure.
 
* GSOC project example:  https://github.com/epifanio/binder-docker-test  the user just needs to open the browser and click to "launch binder" bunner  to have access to a (osgeolive based, both data and sw) online.
