Hi! I do have the please of conducting an Org-mode workshop (3x4 hours) for up to twelve participants. So far I am planning to show my (advanced) setup in form of my workflows for misc things as a teaser and start with basics more or less in the order of the Org-mode manual. I am sure that there are other people having had the pleasure of doing such a workshop before. Is there any course material available so that I might take a look on the content? Thanks! -- Karl Voit

The place to announce and document OrgCamps is on Worg: http://orgmode.org/worg/orgcamps.html The idea behind the OrgCamp was to let people freely demonstrate how they use Org and learn from that. AFAIU, a "workshop" is more centred on sharing _your_ experience, which of course is fine too. If any case, please use the Worg page above to share deliverables (presentations, hacks, etc.) and feedback on how it went! This way we can let this idea grow. Thanks! -- Bastien

This sounds great. Are you planning on filming it?

Sorry, no.
It will be held in German only anyway ...

Title of my workshop is «Using Emacs for advanced todo and project management» because I want to get people already using Emacs and not knowing about Org-mode. So I expect participants (from our technical university) which are Emacs savvy and just want to do a next step in their personal information management. For this I am using Org-mode. > If any case, please use the Worg page above to share deliverables > (presentations, hacks, etc.) and feedback on how it went! Hm. So far my plan is to host workshop Org-mode-file containing configuration examples and usage examples on GitHub. This enables my participants to download the (updated) information any time. I did not decide whether I should do this in English or in German (the native language of my participants). Either way: directly hosting on Worg does not seem practical to me since I plan to submit/commit many times from now to the course, causing unwanted notification spam or high load on Worg. But if my material is of any use for others, I am glad to put a link to it on Worg. <Background story> In the last hours I tried to install Emacs portable and Git portable on such a XP machine from the workshop room. I planned to use git as update-many-times-during-workshop-preserving-local-changes tool. The usability of this is unfortunately horrible and merge conflicts are not being solved automatically. So I have to stick to a prepare-everything-on-github-upfront attempt. The format of my material will probably look like this: [...] With following ELISP code in your configuration you can do this or that: :conf: ;; this is ELISP code :conf: (foo (bar)) In Org-mode "this or that" could probably look like this: :org: :PROPERTIES: :org: :ID: this-is-an-example :org: :END: [...] That way I can parse for the «course configuration file» and «course Org-mode example file» separately. GitHub is able to show this kind of formatting directly. But I do have to sleep over it again ... Maybe you have some input too? -- Karl Voit

In what part of Germany?
Is that open to the public - and free?
Sounds interesting.

But this was a very basic workshop and it looks like you wish to do a much more advance one. Also, Venkatesh teaches a course in his university that introduces students to Org-mode [2], which might be of some help.

Great !
Where will it take place ? Is it possible to attend ?
Will you be video recording it ?
Best Regards,
Bernard

I was informed that the workshop was canceled because of too few
attendees (6 of 12 max). So I stop my preparations for now. But in
autumn, there will be the next chance of conducting this workshop.
Generally, in summer term there are much fewer attendees for our
internal educational programme so I hope the reason is not Org-mode
being an uninteresting topic :-)
But I still plan to add any workshop-related material to the github
project from above.
The good thing is though: this gives me more time for writing my PhD
thesis this month :-)

Please don't hesitate to store informations about Org Workshops on
Worg! That will help other workshops to happen, and to reuse existing
content.
Thanks,
