Hi Sense,

What I want from you is: what you want on the website and the
information that's needed to put that on the website. We could then
discuss -- on this list or on IRC -- how we're going to present the
information. What I would suggest is to give your sessions the same
treatment as we gave the pre-conference: lets put the information on
the conference's overview page. We could then link to it from other
locations using anchors if necessary.
I should gather logos to send you - for the GNOME Foundation and GUADEC
you already have everything you need. I've attached a Neary Consulting
logo which you can scale to required size.
I'd suggest that it will be really useful to have a separate page, with
all of the information related to the training, rather than have all of
the text below on the conference overview page.
We don't have a page-submission-and-review system, unfortunately, so I
think it would be best if you'd send me the content for the website.
Here goes:
Title:
GNOME Foundation (logo)
GUADEC 2010 GNOME developer training
July 26 - 27, 2010
The Hague, The Netherlands
GUADEC (logo)
Byline: Give your Linux developers wings (this is corny - any better
ideas welcome, prefereably not infringing Red Bull's trademarks ;))
Pitch:
The GNOME Developer Training sessions at GUADEC are designed to give
experienced software developers the tools that they need to get the most
out of developing free software in an open community.
Covering common Linux development tools, the GNOME and FreeDesktop.org
development platform, and the social dynamics of contributing to
community projects, this course will put extra tools in your developer's
toolbox.
This two day course include a hands-on practical session, and an
in-depth overview of the social aspect of community development,
including how to get your work upstream and how to influence the
direction of upstream projects.
Conference attendance includes a full professional pass for GUADEC, the
flagship annual conference of the GNOME project, giving you access to
three days of presentations, BOFs and tutorials, for a value of €250.
Pricing:
2 days training course + professional registration for GUADEC 2010
(value €250): €1500

The overview page in its current from can be found at
http://guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/schedConf/overview. As you
can see we've called your slot 'Training'. A more descriptive name
would be better, do you have any suggestions?
Developer training perhaps?
Cheers,
Dave.
