I feel that I missed the beginning of this conversation. This is the first email about this topic in my inbox.
I am very interested in a developer bootcamp! Please fill me in. Thanks! -Holly -----Original Message----- From: Open-ils-general [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Taylor Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 1:33 PM To: 'Evergreen Discussion Group' Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Knight Foundation Grant All of them sound like good ideas but I am ESPECIALLY interested in the bootcamp idea (and options to avoid having to install Evergreen for such purposes). I would probably even be willing to pay my own way so definitely would attend if travel was covered. I would like to contribute code but so far all of my other commitments have kept me from sorting it out on my own. If I had a place to go so I could get away from my desk for a few days and learn how the process works I would definitely show up. Jim My questions related to the bootcamp idea are: * Does this sounds like a good idea? * Are there people who would be willing to help out as instructors/mentors for the bootcamp? This isn't a firm commitment, but, if I hear crickets on this question, I know it's not something we should pursue further. Also, please note, my idea is that any travel expenses related to the bootcamp would be covered by the grant. * I also would love to have some volunteers willing to help me plan for the bootcamp, but, if there is sufficient interest in the first set of volunteers, I will also tap people directly with this request. * If we get positive answers from the first two questions, are there ways we can improve upon this idea? Thanks to everyone who read this far in my e-mail. I look forward to hearing your thoughts! Kathy
