It is something to think about; setting up my own public enrollment training, and having people come to me. This might be done in Portland, OR (my home town, but also a great and easy place to visit) or a more central hub city such as Denver , Cincinnati, or Atlanta.
My current materials are about 4 days worth; I can easily add a bit more, but I also like keeping a big chunk of time open for exploration. They say "If you build it, they will come" but I'd prefer to have an idea of how many people would be interested before committing. Charging people something in the $2k range for the week (which would include snacks, lunches, and printed materials) would work, as long as we get sufficient attendance, which I'd think would need to be at least 8 students. The other issue is that the training I have is organized towards true newbies ... people with little or no exposure to Tapestry, and just a general knowledge of HTML, Java, and JavaScript. Are the people on this list, looking for training, interested in that level, or something higher?
