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. 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.
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,

   Agreed. I've flipped the training flag off.
