Maemo training material

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi all,

For those interested in training people up in GNOME Mobile technologies,
you could do worse than giving a Maemo training course. The Maemo
training material has just been refreshed & updated:
http://maemo.org/news/announcements/8fc56f28049811debcf53fcee52907820782/

There are 4 sets of very detailed written material, designed to serve as
course material in 4 modules:

Maemo technology overview: 1 day course
Maemo Getting started: Build environment, toolchain, the basics: 1 day
course
Maemo application development: 3 day course
Maemo platform development: 2 day course

Although, for my money, the Maemo application development module is much
longer than I would be able to teach in 3 days. And Getting started is a
prerequisite for the development modules.

Hope this helps some of you! I know that good GNOME developers are
harder to come by than good developers these days, perhaps training
people up is a solution?

I would recommend coupling the technical training with a community-based
software development course, which outlines community dynamics, tools,
social norms and values.

Cheers,
Dave.
