Notes from Training Team Meeting on 2016-05-19

Attendants: Fulvio Casali, JC Brand, Sally Kleinfeld, Calvin Hendryx-Parker, Guido Stevens, Chrissy Wainwright, Sven Strack, Philip Bauer...

Venues

We probably have some classrooms at MIT
We have 2 rooms at a location withing 15min by foot
We have another location downtown (30min subway+foot) that would mostly be used for the 1- and 2-day-trainings (so people have little commute-time)

Timeslots

Training slots will be: 9am-1pm and 2pm-6pm

Housing for trainers

We'll try to get 1-2 houses to house all the trainers. No further news yet.

State of trainings at ploneconf

We went through all the trainings and discussed their state. See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EmGV8GH6_mmJ25bthiioQvNqCQ6u2bYHIDyuq-yWYgg for full details.

Noteable or new:

  • We'll try to have 4 instances of "Learn Plone!" that walk-ins can attend for free. So we need either one trainer who does the same four times or several trainers.

  • Philip will ask Fred about the state of "Learn Plone!" and "Configuring Plone"

  • Philip will ask Chris Ewing to share the Pyramid-Training Docs with Paul Everitt (and Guido Stevens)

  • We'll ask Steve McMahon to give a second instance of "Creating custom content-types with Dexterity (part 1 of Hacking Plone)"

  • We'll ask David Bain if he could give a second instance of "Theming Plone with Diazo (part 2 of Hacking Plone)" and/or assist Eric with the other instance.

  • We'll ask Fulvio to give a second instance of "Creating custom layouts with Mosaic (part 3 of Hacking Plone)"

  • We'll ask Alec Mitchell to give the "Customizing search" training.

  • We'll drop "Making a Plone Blog" in favor of Calvin Hendryx-Parker doing a short (15min) talk on that during "Make a Pyramid MicroBlog" by Paul Everitt

  • Paul Everitt will give a half-day Training "Make a Pyramid MicroBlog" and a half-day PyCharm-Tutorial.

  • We'll try to have a Advanced Python Training (1 or 2 Days) based on some aspects of the Book "Fluent Python". Tiram Oz (Munich) might volunteer, but we'll also ask Luciano Ramalho who is the author of that amazing book.

  • Philip will update https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10ZTZIPKULnPEFyhMtixgqO3wp2Ll1XU0z8PyZ6ynjc0 to hold all trainings with their respective length.

I short, we are still looking for trainers for the following trainings:

  • Patternslib/Mockup for Plone-Integrators
  • Learn Plone!
  • Customizing search
  • Advanced Python
  • Agile Software Development Methods

Writing training-docs

Setup for trainings

The development-trainigns (mastering plone, workflow, diazo, javascript-development, maybe Solr) should use the same setup that can be used with vagrant or locally: See http://training.plone.org/5/plone_training_config/instructions.html. This will allow Windows-Laptops to fully participate.

The ttw-trainigns will use Heroku. Alec Mitchell will talk to Eric Bréhault about the Heroku-Button and the set of add-ons that is needed.

Some development classes (Component Architecture, Pyramid) will probably expect a locally running virtualenv and buildout.

Structure of training.plone.org

Sven made great progress with a new theme for the frontpage and structure of the trainings (see Announcing the next Training Team Meeting)

We'll open a new thread on https://community.plone.org to discuss that.

Philip will coordinate with Sven to move mastering Plone into a seperate folder in https://github.com/plone/training undtil next week.

Next Meeting

Philip will schedule the next hangout in mid-June.

P.S.: Even though JC will not do the Patternslib/Mockup-Training we really want him to come to the conference :slight_smile:
