London Workshop Content
We're building up some courseware content here for the London Workshops:
http://www.drupal.org.uk/tutorials
We have two events a month, one for beginers and intermediary, the other for intermediary and advanced - which explains why the difficulty levels jump around.
Feel welcome to use or add to these tutorials.

What software platform should the courseware be aimed towards?
Drupal Courseware IRC Meeting Agenda - Wed 3 March 2006
Here is the agenda for the weekly courseware IRC meeting.
1) Review the unit 1 outline from last week's meeting.
2) Disccus the overall scope of the course. Do we include module development? if so, to what extent? etc. etc.
3) Where/ When does install take place and what platforms are supported. (put up for vote)
4) Break up tasks for unit 1 (at least) granularly enough to be able to assign them to individuals.
5) Spec out next unit.
Any other thoughts?

How do you train your Drupal end users?
G'day Drupalicons
We need to deliver training to our community of Drupal users. (And I expect many of you need to do the same). There's a good collection of how-to's on the drupal.org website, but I was really looking for a training guide or material to support instructor led training which would cover the basic web author and then a more advanced website editor type level (or basic web master types with little HTML knowledge).
Want to exclude all the technical web developer type topics/activities, such as installation, Database/SQL, theming and PHP coding etc.
Does anyone have or know of suitable training resources for a Drupal end user? Maybe this could be a contributed project, if these end-user orientated resources do not already exist?
Read moreShould we spend more time together on #drupal-courseware?
I am going to register the channel with chanserv, and I think we should all set it to our auto-joins.
A lot of us are already online all the time, and I think it would be constructive to open up the channels of communication
more, so that we don't just talk about this stuff once a week at the meeting.
I'm really happy with the progress we made on wednesday, and I think this could really help the cause =)

Hey guys.
I would like us to get together to discuss the design of the courseware for DrupalCamp training. I just wanted to confirm with everyone what would be a good time. I'm leaning towards 2pm vancouver / san francisco time on wednesday the 19th of April 2006.
I'll put up an agenda sometime this weekend.

Due to the bad exchange rate, and the general distrust of international outsourcing local clients are completely unwilling to pay people overseas to do any development, and the lack of (quality?) Drupal developers
makes the Drupal industry here stillborn.
I have several friends who are now doing freelance development, who areeither interested in, or have started doing Drupal development here in South Africa. All of these people I introduced / got interested in doing Drupal, and most of them just need a short introduction to get them up to speed.
So in the interest of getting my friends into the fold and improving the community, I have decided I want to run a short primer course on Drupal, for people who already know php / web development.
