Em Space Drupal training in Australia

This is an update about Em Space training services.

We were using the CAE training labs (in Melbourne) for training, but this was a bit too rigid. So we've limited ourselves to corporate training, training teams at our clients' premises.

However, we now have a flexible training service that can travel around. This means we will be able to train in unusual places with minimal preparation in advance. This also means that we can use our own offices for training - avoiding the pain of booking venues, but also keeping our space flexible (not having to lock it up with cheap desktop PCs).

Drupal Dojo: A brief history and next steps...

In May 2007 Dries wrote a blog post identifying the levels and thresholds associated with ascending the Drupal learning curve. He identified specific levels (thresholds) that individuals involved with using and/or developing for Drupal ranging from new users (I “suck” threshold) to active contributors to the Drupal community (“I kick ass” threshold). In response to the know-do gap between those who simply struggled in the Drupal community and those who actually advanced the spirit, mission and vision of the project the Drupal Dojo was born. The model was based on the Japanese concept of the dojo, which means: “the place of the way” and is defined as a training facility, usually led by one or more sensei; the Japanese term for “teacher”. The primary purpose of the Dojo was to provide a structured and safe learning environment for individuals looking to ascend the Drupal learning curve and connect like minded individuals (students) to other individuals who have experience and expertise (teachers).
