None of them seemed particularly geared towards getting the conversation going around defining goals around leadership in a larger community (rather than corporation) while offering a subset of varied training opportunities tailored to the group in the way that ZingTrain does (which they do, btw, because they're geared less towards corporations, more towards small businesses). I've started filling in even more options that have come my way since starting to talk with folks who are giving feedback about what they'd like to see available - so consider this an invitation to the entire community to add more options/detail/reviews if you've taken anything you like or hate, or are curious about an option you may have heard of through colleagues or friends! I've also posted the sample mash-up itinerary I mentioned previously under the option for that training in the etherpad, and I'll continue to work with ZingTrain to finalize a couple of other options. In the meantime if anyone has feedback or questions or would like to see something look a little different, do let me know. Thierry - I didn't quite respond directly to you question about the consequence of having this expand to include much of the TC in attendance being that the dev community as a whole feels like there's too much of a divide between the TC and the larger Community. As I see it, given that we max out around 20 participants, we could certainly work to actively reserve space for non-TC community members who express interest. All 13 current members of the TC have expressed interest in going, and we have potentially 7 entirely new members that can be elected, which puts us around the maximum preferred in a training if every spot is newly elected and everyone interested now decides to come (though ZingTrain has said that 22-25 is sometimes an acceptable overflow). The event-planner in me is assuming that won't actually happen and we'll have space, but we won't know til after the election. I think it'd be a huge asset to have more than the TC represented there, so consider me signed up for helping to organize/engage there. thanks everyone! -colette
