Hi Mike, there is not really a specific target group for these trainings. It is our feeling, that there are a large number of parties out there that could benefit from properly maintained training materials for open source software.
We noticed a few issues around training when talking to other companies recently, that sparked the idea for this proposal. - Writing training material is hard and takes time - Keeping training material up to date is even harder - Everybody has the same tooling issues (i.e. how to keep Powerpoints under version control) around this The cumulative effort for those items is quite often too large for all but the largest companies, because usually you just spend time on this when someone pays for a training. So our intention is for this project to become a platform for trainings on all kinds of topics - probably mostly on specific software projects, but I see no reason why there should not be a training on for example "The Apache way" as well. So in summary, your answer "it is all of that" probably was correct :) I hope that helps, of not, please don't hesitate to get back to us! Best regards, Sönke I think your anwer "it is all of that" best fits our intentions :) On Sat, Jan 26, 2019 at 11:32 PM Michael Wall <mjw...@apache.org> wrote: > > Lars, > > Interesting proposal.
