I agree Jackson it can be hard for folks to attend a seemingly random
time for the sessions.
Any thoughts on producing these and then allowing folks to get the
information anytime? Should we make wiki tutorials? Video tutorials?
Have open question days after releasing the tutorial?

The workshops are very useful, although we haven't had much in the way

No worries. Let me copy my reply to everyone if that's alright Juan :-)
Basically at the beginning of each cycle now for several cycles, we as a
team take time to host a series of classroom sessions, or workshops to
instruct people on specific topics.
So for example, Javier gave a session last cycle on bzr last cycle. You can
see the log here:
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/07/01/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t16:01
Traditionally the instructor types out the information in an IRC channel and
folks are able to then ask questions as he speaks. We are trying to emulate
attending a class like at school, with an instructor and you attending as a
student :-)
Topics have traditionally centered around skills needed for testing.

This time around I'm open to ideas about changing the format, structure and
topics. Think outside of the box! What ideas do you have to making workshops
easier for people to attend? More relevant to people attending? Do we want
to do screencasted video?
Let's gather some thoughts before we come up with a list of topics we want
to cover (but don't be afraid to toss in a "new" or "different" topic idea
now). After we select topics we'll ask for instructor volunteers and finally
schedule them. I suspect most will occur during the month of November /
early December once everything is said and done.
