Hi Jachym, I like the idea of a OSGeo 101 workshop. Ideally it can be
developed into a continuously maintained workshop which can be regularly
presented to new users at global and local FOSS4G type events.
It would be great to align OSGeo 101 with OSGeoLive material. Reasons:
* OSGeoLive has grown with a primary purpose of helping first time users
learn about OSGeo products.
* OSGeoLive has a community behind it which is updating material every
year - making it a sustainable initiative.
* OSGeoLive has a translation pipeline - meaning your material could be
translated into other languages.
* I suspect you'd benefit from using the OSGeoLive distribution as a
platform to present from.
* The OSGeoLive lightning overview,
https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation.html , could either be
referenced, or incorporated, depending on the focus you take.
* We have also been talking about a related "introduction to OSGeo
projects" workshop, which would aggregate ~ 5 to 10 of the OSGeoLive
Quickstarts. The bonus would be that the material is already created,
and the rigour applied to testing a workshop should improve the quality
of our Quickstarts. It could help Quickstarts align around common use
cases, making them easier to learn.
* What you are mentioning about teaching how to join OSGeo communities
would dovetail well.
While I don't have the bandwidth to play a significant role, I can help
with some periphery tasks - maybe review content for readability or similar.
Warm regards, Cameron

I have a presentation on just that subject from FOSS4G and foss4gna.
Each part of OSGeo is different so it would be a good workshop.

Introduce newcomers to OSGeo ecosystem.
At FOSS4G-Europe it appeared, that "joining the mailing list" is
something, most of the people do not understand.
How OSGeo is organised. How can you join the communication channels.
How are projects within OSGeo organised. How to join OSGeo as project
...
Just the basic idea
At the end of the workshop, attendees should be all joined to
discussion mailing list as well as to the projects mailing list of
their interest :-)
