Thank you very much for your offer Aaron. I've personally been trying not to impose on your time, because I consider you a valuable resource for the group and wouldn't want to rely on you to a point of being a burden. That said, we DO want to try to do more hands-on type training, but of the sort that would take an afternoon, or a day to do. We've had some positive responses from the membership survey with regards to mentoring, and have been trying to determine how best to utilize these individuals without unduly impacting their time. We have already decided to try to hold a workshop every two months, but maybe if you and the other mentor's are willing, we can do one every month? Please contact me off list and let me know what you'd be willing to do. As Szemir mentioned, we are booked for the next three meetings. The next meeting we need to plan for is August - perhaps a bit far in the future for planning this type of session? May will be a busy month as you can see below, but the weekend of the 7th, or the 14th might be feasible for an afternoon workshop - does this work for you Aaron? If so, let me/us know how we can be of assistance in prepping for this. I'm sure we can arrange a location relatively quickly, depending on the numbers attending of course. Here's our schedule for the next few months: May 4th - VMWare Presentation (finally received confirmation today) May 28th or 29th - Installfest May 17th to 19th - Convergence June 1st - Novell Presentation June ??? - Samba Workshop July 6th - IBM Presentation I'll be posting this information to the website later tonight as well. Thanks again Aaron, and other mentors, for the offers - they are very much appreciated.
