OpenPublic Training is Coming!
As we're starting to see adoption of OpenPublic in the public sector, we're excited to see what people are accomplishing using this new Drupal distribution. Soon, we'll be launching a community site with more documentation for the community, but in addition to that, we're excited to announce two OpenPublic trainings this summer!
What will you learn?
These trainings are for public sector representatives building web sites using OpenPublic, as well as developers hoping to extend and contribute to this distribution. We'll offer an overview of how the distribution works and show you how to build out your site using what comes "out of the box", and then get under the hood a bit to show you how you can add functionality, create new themes, and contribute back to the project.
At the end you'll be a complete OpenPublic Know-it-all. Seriously. You'll be able to get a site set up in OpenPublic, and use the dashboard to handle some customization and configuration options. You'll be able to work with contexts, in conjunction with features, to modify the block configuration. You'll be super good at working with panels to modify existing panel pages. Plus, as an added bonus, you will be able to impress your friends by effortlessly distinguishing between features and OpenPublic Apps, as well as tell them all about how to plan and contribute a new App to the OpenPublic community.
I mean, what are you waiting for!? The only question now is whether you want to do this training in the United States, or Europe. Decisions, decisions.
Now, the details:
First, we'll hold a training stateside, at CapitalCamp in Washington, DC. If you're coming for CapitalCamp, stay for training in Phase2's new, beautiful training space! Training is set for Monday, July 25, 2011 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (ET). You can sign up online, and you will not be sorry you did.
Then, off to London! If you're coming to DrupalCon London, you're not going to want to miss pre-conference training for OpenPublic. More details and sign-ups are here.
Whether you're a shop hoping to implement OpenPublic for clients, or a member of the public sector building a site for your organization, collaborating with a group about how to build, extend, and contribute to OpenPublic will not disappoint. Plus, who wouldn't want to be able to discuss the finer points of this D7 distro at a cocktail party?
