Hello all,
I've just faxed a trainer's agreement for the tutorial. After much
discussion
as persuasion, we've decided to go ahead and do the tutorial.
There is a lot of work to do in the meantime, but we should be able to
produce a
tutorial that will be of value.
No doubt we'll be using Mark and the Harmony peeps as guinea pigs :-)
Regards,
Stuart

I'd vote for not doing it Stuart, your on the hook as you're down
as the tutor. Perhaps we can go for the next ApacheCon?
perhaps but i'd recommend thinking hard before turning this one
down...
ApacheCon is a great experience, and offers a great chance to learn
and network. this one is the 10th birthday bash and is going to be
very special indeed. if the tutorial offers a way to attend that you
wouldn't otherwise have then you may well later regret turning the
offer down.
My concern is that what we have is immature and has never been used in
anger. While what we are doing may be interesting, it isn't something
to be used in production. Therefore I don't believe that it would be
fair to the paying attendees to do the tutorial just yet.
If was on the hook for it, I think I'd also share your concerns.
However, I agree with Robert about thinking hard before turning this one
down.
Since I'm only a cubicle away perhaps you could give me[0] a tutorial.
I'd certainly be very interested anyway and I'll tell you if I'd have
been happy paying for it or not. This might help ascertain if you have
a chance get something ready for ApacheCon or not.
Regards,
Mark.
[0] Some of the other members of the Harmony team would probably be interested
too.
