Might it get more visibility if its listed in events - which gets front page visibility, as opposed to training?

So this one is a training event, kinda install fest for postgreqsl newbies, as far as I know, and that is why I approved the post. I've been in contact with the author of the post, I don't know him, but we've already started thinking about advocacy tasks, prolly with a booth. I suggest to rollback the flip-off ;-) Best wishes, gb.- On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 4:50 AM, Dave Page <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 3:22 AM, Chander Ganesan <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Just looking at upcoming events and I notice that this event: > > > > http://www.postgresql.org/about/event.699 > > > > Seems to be a conference, not a training event.

Seems like, since its free, and its at a conference, it might be better served as an event though. It will get more visibility that way.... A great example along the same lines are free Webinars that many vendors offer...I've seen those categorized as events as well... chander > > I've been in contact with the author of the post, I don't know him, > but we've already started thinking about advocacy tasks, prolly with a > booth. > > I suggest to rollback the flip-off ;-) > > Best wishes, > gb.- > > On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 4:50 AM, Dave Page <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 3:22 AM, Chander Ganesan > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Just looking at upcoming events and I notice that this event: > > > > http://www.postgresql.org/about/event.699 > > > > Seems to be a conference, not a training event.

Indeed, it's free (yay!), and it takes place at an event of a few days. But again, IMHO this is not an event but a training course, the format, the contents and the intentions drive the qualification of the event as a training event. These are my thoughts on this matter and I may be wrong, feel free to (irc) slap me with a smelly trout :) gb.- On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 10:12 AM, Chander Ganesan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Guido Barosio wrote: > >> Dave, Chander, all, >> >> It is actually a small workshop guys, taking place in the hugest Open >> Source event @ Argentina, which is not a training course but indeed a >> conference that promotes training events in the same place in order to help >> starters.

I've flipped the training flag off. When I logged in this morning (before I saw your post) it will still set to training, I flipped it again and it stuck.
