I fully agree that showing training options in the front page, maybe via a new "training" page would be a very good move and a show of strenght, and we should probably add in the same page references to books that contain material about GeoServer. About making announcements on the user mailing list training by training, I don't know. How is that different from company X announcing "MyPimpedGeoServer 2.0", a product based on GeoServer with some extras? I mean, training in the end it's a commercial product too. Thinking out loud here, how about putting an events calendar in the wiki page talking about training, make a blog letting the world know about this new page, but avoid advertising each single event on the user list? I'm ready to be convinced otherwise, I just find it hard to draw a line between a training program and a product based on GeoServer. Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!
