Thank you, Colette, I appreciate you setting this intent. This is the social agreement I am used to for the event to be productive for all participants. I appreciate you stating it clearly.

While it's certainly fair to share one's own experience and observations around training with the larger community if you choose, it is absolutely important to respect the boundaries of others' experiences of training and allow them space to talk about it, or not. It's also crucial that anything that is expressed by others be treated with a bias towards privacy and confidentiality (i.e., if you want to write about something someone said during training on social media, it's appropriate to ask them for permission to share, first). I should add - I didn't intend to set any expectations that the etherpads even be used - I just wanted to provide them as an option to facilitate, if anyone desires to use them. If no one does, I'm also fine with that, and I'm happy to take responsibility to answer questions asked by community members who aren't present on them as I'm able to.

I should add, I guess, that I doubt there will be any room for laptops being open or online reaction to activities as-they-happen. there might be time to reflect on sections of the training at lunch times, or breaks, or after our day is done, and I wanted to give that option to folks who felt like sharing their thoughts in a more informal setting than a blog post.

Re: [openstack-dev] [tc] Leadership training - ideas to include those not in the room?
Anita, Colette, I too was wondering how effective my own participation in the training would be there was an implied expectation that I was to be taking notes for a live relay to others on the internet who were following along on an etherpad, not to mention what it would to the dynamics in the room with people relaying questions from out in the ether. It brought up visions of the (unfortunately too often) news programs [sic] where an anchor reads tweets that are shown on an oversized screen. And I remembered reading this paper[1] some time back where the authors conclude that as people take notes on computers, the fact that they now have the ability to take notes faster interferes with their own ability to understand and retain the information being thrown at them. -amrith [1] The Pen Is Mightier Than the Keyboard; Advantages of Longhand Over Laptop Note Taking.

[openstack-dev] [tc] Leadership training - ideas to include those not in the room?
Hello Stackers! I just wanted to check in as we approach the leadership training session that some of the TC and community will be attending in Ann Arbor, Michigan together [0]. First thing: fostering as much inclusion as possible. Because of the limited amount of space, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how we might be able to share the experience with anyone not-in-the-room who is interested. As a first step, I've set up an etherpad for each of the two days of training [1] where attendees can jot notes if they'd like to share, and where anyone not in the room can ask questions, potentially, about what's happening. I also expect a few attendees, at least, might find the training interesting enough to blog about after the fact. We're barred from recording the training to share with the larger community (for now) because of contracts, etc., but I can share a bunch of work from the ZingTrain camp related to the training we'll have: 1. Free essays (esp. the Leadership and Visioning sections): http://zingtrain.com/free-samples-and-enews 2. Free webinars (which contain a lot of the elements of blocks of the training): http://info.zingtrain.com/webinars 3. Books related to the ZingTrain leadership philosophy: http://zingtrain.com/being-a-better-leader and http://zingtrain.com/managing-ourselves If anyone has any other suggestions or questions, please respond with input (and feel free to write me privately if you'd prefer). Second thing: logistics for attendees I'm going to have to do some housekeeping/organizational things with the 19 people attending, and that will just be via private email (and using the existing etherpad [0]). Keep an eye out for that soon! Thanks - and I'm really looking forward to sharing this experience with the whole community!
