Re: [guadec-list] Training workshops at GUADEC
Btw. can't you add a "Workshop" type of thing to the CfP system? One thing to rule them all, would be easier...

Ideally, I think it would be nice to have something that targets (local) students who are interested in free software and hopefully GNOME. So my guess is that it makes sense to expect some prior knowledge, but not much actual experience (e.g. they know what git is, but have never send a patch upstream). > - Will you be able to organize material locally?

We will provide a seminar room with the following: * projector * blackboard * WiFi and 1-2 LAN ports * multiway power extensions (1 socket per person) * chairs/tables Adaptors are on my todo list to check and ping later. Anything else should be requested so we can organize something.

Re: [guadec-list] Training workshops at GUADEC
Hi, I'd certainly still be interested but won't have the time to coordinate everything around this as always. GSoC's going crazy right now and I'm doing stuff for too many orgs here. I hope I can work out a few rough proposals, post them here and let you choose which you like so I can refine. I think a few questions are missing for the workshops IMO: - How long should the workshop take? (Half day, day, two days possible?) - What should participants be able to do after the workshop. (Helps setting expectations right and usually also helps planning very much.) Few organizational questiosn: - Do we have any idea about the target audience? Very important for workshop holders to know. - Will you be able to organize material locally? That usually includes lots and lots of sticky notes and threeish pieces of custom printed paper per participant. A projector with a few adaptors. - Are there tables, arrangeable for group work? - For longer workshops, at least some water would be nice to prohibit dehydration. - It'd be great to have a BoF related or accompanying every workshop. A very critical point is to get people to try out the stuff even after the actual workshop. Knowing a place where they can come and hack *and ask* would be awesome. IMO we should encourage workshoppers to organize a BoF. - Would be nice to have feedback sheets so we can measure the success and impact of the workshops. This is one big experiement so let's not forget gathering data.

It would be great to have descriptions for the workshops up before registration starts. So if you are still up for it, then I would appreciate it if one of you could step up to coordinate the effort and decide more precisely what we can offer at GUADEC :) To be more specific, the information I am looking for is: * Title of the workshop * Short Description (for an overview page) * Long Description (for detailed page) * Expected prior knowledge * Pre-Requisites for attendees (e.g. VM with certain packages) * Minimum/Maximum number of Attendees * Name of everyone giving the workshop * Should your employer be listed as a sponsor? * Will you need travel sponsorships? * Optional: bio (+ image) for website Benjamin signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
