Hi Alex, thanks for giving me such awesome tips!
They are much appreciated.
I'll definitely post the pictures, perhaps even videos!
Thanks for the support.

Hey George -
I've done a bunch of trainings before (one actually with Vitor who you
mentioned) and I recommend taking about 4 - 6 hours for an intro to OSM and
working with JOSM, editing, satellite tracing and explaining field papers
and GPS. I recommend being 2 people in the room, one leading the workshop,
the other helping people to follow along. Make sure you have good internet
and everyone's got a computer. You can do easily 10-30 people in a workshop
like that.
In addition we sometimes do street surveys after the workshop in groups of
two to three people where you'll need ideally one trainer per group or a
good half our intro and solid goals (like collect street names or
collect addresses). For a first survey, usually going out for one hour,
then coming back and entering the data, coming to a total of about three
hours is good.
Make sure you pick the right area to survey suitable for your mode of
transportation. Likely your attendees will be by foot and for instance
surveying by foot in suburbian areas with few points of interests can be
tiring very quickly.
What has not worked very well in the past is to go out and do a street
survey with people who have never heard of OSM before. It's a much better
start to sit down and do some editing before going out into the wild.
More than anything, I recommend you share your experience with us here on
the list or with pictures on your diary or blog. Like Fabricio Zuardi did
this here: http://onibushacker.org/2012/03/21/hackeria-mapa/
Have fun with the workshop!

Pessoal, bom dia!
Sou de Uberlândia - MG e quero promover um mini-curso de OSM na
universidade, especificamente no curso de geografia, mas aberto aos outros
cursos, claro.
Gostaria de saber se existe alguém disposto a dar um mini-curso como
este, falando das possibilidades, como editar, filosofia do projeto, etc.
Havia falado como Vitor George, mas ele tá no México!
Gurus do OSM, quem se habilita? A idéia é trazer vocês por um dia, com
hotel e aéreo, para um mini-evento, ou quem sabe, até uma mapping party.
Deem idéias.
Abraços
