Hi Jennifer,
We are just beginning to think about locations for the Spring tour...my best
guess is that we will do one in Boston, since Clif Graves, the lead ebase
2.0 programmer, lives in Maine and Boston is a likely spot for his travel.
Also, we will be training people at the NYC Train-the-Trainers workshop on
Oct 17-18 who will start to do trainings in the NY/CT region. One in
particular I know envisions Stamford as included in the region he would like
to serve. So nothing firm but some possibilities.
The New York Intro training on Oct 16 is not yet full - 7 out of 12 spots
are reserved so far.
Hosting a training would involve helping to locate computer lab space with
10-12 stations, at reasonable cost; possibly locating a place to hold a
reception to let others interested in ebase see a demo and meet others who
use ebase; and helping to get the word out. The benefit: you get the trainer
to come to you!
Please let me know if the hosting sounds interesting to you.
Best regards,
Liz
