I am thinking of porting over a short adventure over to Campaign Logger as a demo file for the app for new users.

Do you know of any short fantasy open source adventures out there?

Do you know of any short fantasy open source adventures out there?

I had a look at this in April and found that at least back then there was not so much selection as I would have expected - open source game systems seem to be more common than adventure scenarios. (Even the Open Legend open-source RPG system has its introductory adventure A Star Once Fallen copyrighted.)

But this archive should still be a good starting point:
This page only shows free, libre and open tabletop games. For a list that includes proprietary shareable works (that is to say, noncommercial and verbatim works), see Tabletop Games (Shareable Works).

Also, this CC-BY-SA licensed adventure was one candidate at that time - but might be more tongue in cheek than is desirable for this purpose:
This module was written as a way to introduce brand new players to the wild and
whimsical Kingdom of Westerly. As such, it has quite a lot of setting details packed
into it, in some particularly odd places, so that the players could really get a feel for the world.
Since it’s an introductory module, I wrote it such that the player characters don’t
have to know one another to start. Like most classic fantasy adventures, you just
drop them into the tavern and the rest of the plot just kind of happens. This also
allows your players to either pick one of the pre-gen characters from the main
rulebook or make their own, without having to worry much about backstory, logic
or party dynamics.
