Notes from the Training Team Meeting on 21.06.2018
Attendants:
Chrissy Wainwright, Eric Bréhault, Fulvio Casali, Jean Jordaan, Nathan Van Gheem, Oz Nahum, Philip Bauer, Thomas Massmann, Thomas Schorr, Andrea Cecchi
Why do we even bother?
- Produce high-quality online materials and docs that last far longer and benefit many more people than just the live attendees.
- Improve and update existing training documentation
- Add missing training documentation for strategically important topics (e.g. restapi)
- Attract new developers and users to Plone
- Enable everyone to use the same best-practices
What we want to change
Things went really well last year but we want to improve:
- Collect feedback about each trainings in a form
- Hand out a Certificate of Attendance

We currently have 5 rooms for trainings. This is probably not enough.
The rooms all have internet, projector, whiteboard and power-plugs.
Website/Documentation
We need to review existing training-documentation and see what needs to be updated or removed.
Compensation
Housing for trainers will be provided. If additionally a free or discounted conference ticket can be offered depends on the conference finances.
Housing
Housing for Trainers is for 8 nights so that trainers can stay for the sprint. Check-in: Sunday 04.11.2018, Check-out: Monday 12.11.2018.
We asked the organizers if it is possible that trainers who bring their spouses/partners can share a room.
Trainers should add their information to the spradsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14SO4W_hUqGz6WnTJfVE6qKxYObv5nckgK0nFeGnc52w/edit#gid=964539978
