There are 21 training events in 4 countries scheduled over the next six months from EnterpriseDB, CertFirst, Open Technology Group and others. 18 PostgreSQL Administration 3 PostgreSQL Implementation, Performance & Tuning 2 Implementing Databases with PostgreSQL And 6 other types The real estate is definitely there from the old way that events were listed, we could show 3 upcoming "course types" with the most recent of each type listed. That allows visitors to see the range of offerings as well as some numbers. I still think that there should be a limit as to the number of courses a vendor can list and/or a limit on the number of each type of course (for example, dextra could list a maximum of 3 upcoming admin courses, 3 upcoming intro courses, etc.). Limiting by type would also encourage training vendors to put more effort into offering a range of courses, and keep things on the up-and-up from a listing perspective...thus preventing event spam. -- Chander Ganesan Open Technology Group, Inc.
