1. Trainings

We went through all the trainings in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EmGV8GH6_mmJ25bthiioQvNqCQ6u2bYHIDyuq-yWYgg/edit# and added some possible trainers and trainings. Most of the info is in that doc. Also:

  • We'd like to have a training on agile-development methods (or at least one method).
  • Chrissy will ask Calvin about giving the blog- and workflow-trainings (He already said yes \o/)
  • Carlos will ask Paul Everitt about giving a Pyramid-Training
  • Philip will ask all others possible trainers

2. Restructuring training.plone.org

See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BJl4cvP41EoBzf1uONaeFbXqOpndAwqAyYUhl2N19Os/edit

Also:

  • All trainings given at the conf have to be document on http://training.plone.org. Only this way the effort going into preparing the trainings has a long-lasting benefit.
  • We need a good landing page with audience and benefits (what will you learn) for each training
  • Trainings need to move to seperate folders (mastering plone needs to move out of the root-folder)
  • We need a short primer on how to write trainings (Fred will ask Sven and Paul). Thast should also be on the website.
  • Better search would be good (i.e. search for code-snippets)
  • We need a easy way to link to another training
  • Train the trainer (http://training.plone.org/5/trainthetrainer/index.html) needs to be expanded (Fred)

4. Running Plone for the trainees

All trainings without file-system development (4x Hacking Plone, Customizing search, Custom Workflows, Making a Plone Blog) should use the same setup:
The idea is to have special versions of the deploy-to-heroku-buttons for the trainings that install the addons needed for each (or all) training(s)
Alec Mitchell will talk to Eric Bréhault about the Heroku-Button and the set of add-ons we need for that
The file-system development training could use the same setup as the mastering plone-training (http://training.plone.org/5/plone_training_config/instructions.html)
