training

Just a reminder that we still have some spaces open for the DrupalCamp being run from 24 July to 28 July (during the evenings).
There is a cost of R2500 for the 5 evening course, which includes meals and training materials.

In case you missed this, there's a free two day Drupal training workshop being run in Birmingham on 27/28 July 2006 by OpenAdvantage.

I just wanted to make sure that folks in the )ortland area are aware of the Seattle Drupal Camp next week on wednesday and thursday. We have room for 40 and there are 24 Registered now. The event is free and fun and will include copiuous amounts of.... Hacking!

At the June 1 meeting Boris brought up the Seattle Drupal Camp: http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcamp-seattle-2006

There's an agenda up with a tech and non-tech track. It's sponsored in part by Bryght and Rain City Studios, so you know some of the usual Vancouver suspects will be present :-).

I wanted to start a discussion to get things rolling. (Apologies if this is the wrong venue)

Do people usually go down the night before or the morning of?

Is there a recommended place to stay?

I was at the first Melbourne Meetup a few weeks back, where the topic of Drupal Training in Melbourne was briefly discussed. The general consensus is that it would be a "Good Idea".

I'm now wanting to follow up the idea with anybody else at all interested.

I see a role for End-User Training, as is being discussed elsewhere How do you train your Drupal end users?, as well as Developer Training.

Some discussion of Sydney training is going on: See here. I've had a little correspondence with Peter who is running the Sydney training.

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?

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 =)
