This Friday, on June 22nd from 9am to 5pm, I'm organizing the first every Drupal Virtual Mentored Training. We did a beta a couple of days ago that went really well, and I'm excited to use the model for a larger group.

In this training, we'll be using the Mentored Training model (see http://buildamodule.com/train for more info), but using Google Hangouts instead of a physical environment. This will enable people from around the world to participate. And you can use your

This particular training is part of the Associations Global Training days (http://drupal.org/learn-drupal), and we're conducting it for free. Some of you have participated in a Mentored Training before as mentors and know that it can be a lot of fun.

If you're interesting in helping as a Mentor (we need more mentors), just send me an email (or use http://buildamodule.com/contact). All you have to do is show up around 8:30am so we have time for a quick orientation, and then help answer people's questions during the training.

In you're interested in participating as a student, there are still some slots left. You can register at http://drupalimmersion.eventbrite.com/ .

This training we'll be focusing on Drupal basics, though because the videos on BuildAModule extend beyond that, there will end up being students with more advanced questions as well.

If you have any questions, just let me know!

Cheers!
