Hi Terri and Naupaka, To write the "Upcoming bootcamps" section, I just pick up the next 5-ish bootcamps from the list at http://software-carpentry.org/bootcamps/index.html. There was a demand from people to have info on coming bootcamps on a regular basis, and that's why this section was included. It's pretty limited though, as I don't want to clutter the post with a huge list, but, on the other hand, it's not very useful to know that a bootcamp is coming to town *tomorrow*... From now on, I'll include a link to the main page, so people can check not only the immediate bootcamps, but also the ones a bit farther in time, increasing the chances from them to sign up, forward to a friend or whatever...
The other thing is why some scheduled bootcamps are not showing in the SWC page. For that to happen (correct me, Arliss or Greg, if I'm wrong), the lead instructor has to create the bootcamp repo and then let the admins know about it.
