Drupal related?
Hey Marc:
As you're posting this to a Drupal group, I'm wondering if there will be sessions or class content that is specifically related to Drupal?
Thanks,

Help us out with some info
Marc:
I've received some complaints about your event posting. The concern is that this is not a Drupal related event and not appropriate for posting as an event to this group alongside the Drupal specific events. The official policy for event posts is included on the form you fill out when creating an event:
Front end development is certainly part of Drupal site and module development. But could you help justify the specific relevance of your event for Drupal audiences? Is JQuery covered? Will there be Drupal sidebars or specific sessions/workshops? At the very least this would help market the event for this audience.
And for others in the group, what are your thoughts about the posting of events like this?

Fine by me
Thanks Barry for posting the official text - it's helpful to have the guidelines. In this case, I /think/ this post is covered by these guideline and is being "listed in the Training or Related events categories" (I'm assuming that refers to making an event post).
I do think this is much more like jQuery training than a Cubs game. I think this is plausibly of interest to many members of this group, and, as such, a reasonable post. That's a judgement call, obviously, but that's how I see it.
I also think it's worth noting that the next post on the group right now is "Promoting TC Drupal Camp 2013" in which we're asking our members to cross-promote our upcoming camp in other groups they're involved with. I think a certain amount of Golden Rule applies here - if we think it's reasonable to do this, we should be comfortable with others doing the same. I personally am comfortable with both directions. This case aside, I would, for example, welcome cross-posting of MinneWebCon or MinneBar on this site, as that might help me get to both of those other good local web events. I hope we reach out to both of those communities as well.
So - I think this is Ham not Spam. Not everyone subscribed to this group will be interested, but probably most posts are that way - not everyone subscribed is interested in every post made here.
That's my thinking.
jQuery Training is Ok?
Nothing about the event specific to Drupal, but in your terms you do state that "jQuery training is okay"...hence why I posted. I do want to say that we've had past attendees of Frontend Masters find out about the series through the posting I did on Drupal Twin Cities...so clearly, there are people on here who are interested! But let me know in the future if it's not ok.
