Some things to keep in mind: * We recommend sessions be approximately 90 minutes This allows for an hour long session and enough time for questions and answers. * Make sure you know your subject and know where to point students who wish more detailed information. * Note at the beginning of your class if you would like students to ask questions as you go, or would prefer them to wait until the end. * Remember that typing is slower than talking in front of a class or speaking on a phone call, so keep in mind you will not cover as much on IRC. After a class is completed, the bot creates minutes and full logs so anyone may refer to these logs later. Example of minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-classroom/2010-05-10/fedora-classroom.2010-05-10-01.00.html Example of full logs: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-classroom/2010-05-10/fedora-classroom.2010-05-10-01.00.log.html Having a wiki page is a good idea, but I feel that a class would be better in that folks can ask questions during a class (see above examples) and those questions are added to the logs along with everything else which takes place during the class. I know there are some folks here who could give an excellent class, but there is also the time required to prepare and give the class. One of the main reasons I joined the Websites team was to help distribute the work load so others aren't so swamped. And learning more about git and patch puts me in a better position to do that. I feel there is no such thing as "too much training". -- Regards, Rev.
