I'd like to help organize another one. I have the funds raised from the
last one that can help get the ball rolling.

Joel--out of curiosity, what version of Plone will you be using with the
TriZPUG bootcamp?

Of course, one of the reasons why people have tried to keep the bootcamp costs

2.1.1; it's the most recently released; most of the stuff taught is pretty

I've taught about 6 of these publically (they're based on private, corporate 
training I give on Plone, which I done more often, and under more varied 
circumstances).

They've all been 5 days, all roughly had the same material (updated, of 
course, over the past year or so). The price has varied based on the expenses 
and demand, but they've all been in the several-hundred, not several-thousand 
(as most weeklong technical trainings are!) range.

Alex, Bill, is it possible to add a quick poll on zpugdc site to see if we can
get possible >25 people interested in the boot camp in DC? Thanks,

Yep, that's good. I'm interested in learning about the newer design that
places greater emphasis on the use of Archetypes.

Thanks!

Treasurer - Bill you still up for that?

I did food last year and can arrange it again, unless there is another

David Diskin organized the space - Doi you want to do that again or is
there another Vol for that?

Alex arranged sponsors and T-shirts - You up for it again?

Joel you up for leading the camp again?

What am I missing?

I am up for Treasurer again. If there is a coffee shop or something in a
central location where we could talk for about 30min that would be
great. Other option is to meet in the conference room at my work, if
that is convenient enough for people.

I am flexible regarding time/location--as long as we could do it
Wednesday I will accommodate anything else!

My employer, The Nature Conservancy, said we can use the conference
center here our building.

It is:

4245 N. Fairfax Drive
Arlington, VA 22203

This location is in Ballston right at the Metro stop.

If this location is acceptable, please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

Are some of you folks who did the last one planning on taking a new
version?

I'm feeling like a dork cuz I really haven't done anything with what I
got from the previous one.  I just haven't had the time or a real
project which got me to beat on it.  I've just set up a coupld small
sites that I'm using for out of the box CMS stuff.  I haven't built
any content types with ArchGenXML, or customized a workflow, or built
a product.  Now that I'm somewhat comfortable with Python, I'd like to
get into these.

I probably could benefit from another boot in the ...  from another
bootcamp, especially if it spent some time on these kind of things.
The hands-on of the previous was most helpful.

I would prefer not to deal with the space/site again.  Hopefully,  
someone else can step forward for that.

I echo that sentiment, though one idea that I'd like to throw out is to
spend a bit more hands on time with IDE environments. I just figured out
how to get eclipse set up with the PyDev extensions, and copied files
into the workspace from my Plone instance. Unfortunately I don't really
know where to go from there! Getting help setting up launch points and
unit tests would be sweet.

Alex - can we get another opinion poll?  

What I would be interested is in some form of 1/2 say to 1 day segments so
that become a bit more a la carte for folks to pick and choose (particularly
advanced topics)...

I would like to see how many others may want such a thing.  Say 3 days of
basics, then more specialized topics based on what people are doing...

Also, I imagine with enough notice, we could host it here at SAIC.

What time of year are you planning to have the bootcamp? If scheduling 
permits, I'd like to bring a couple of folks in from Kansas if you will 
allow non-locals to participate this year. We'd also like to know more 
about what a sponsorship entails.
