Usually people just give talks up to 45 minutes and most of the time is spent on non-technical aspects which are what people typically are not interested in. Count me in on whatever you may need to organize these crash courses in Portugal. > Has someone done this before or has anything we can use? Anyone can > share some experiences on this field ? I've seen lately some activity around this topic on PlanetSUSE, but can't find right now the blog posts I saw the other day with a class room full of people learning on how to use openSUSE, etc. > Would you mind that I would make this happen around openSUSE ?

As said above, people don't pay much attention on theory because it's bored (most of it is, we must admit it) and as so I truly recommend only to spend, say, 1/10 of the crash course time on theoretical stuff.
