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!
