Re: [myhdl-list] Commercial support / training classes

I totally agree.  Chris Felton has a hardware project that generates a 
sound that we could
use as the basis for the project.   I think a number of us could try to 
duplicate it, edit up the training
materials in some shared environment, like Google Docs, and before you 
know it we would have a
training class.

I think we should target the mass market of python developers who want 
to tinker with FPGA's.
People like me.  For us, meaning experienced python developers, it is 
obvious this is the way to go.  Trying to sell a hardware engineer on 
dynamic binding is going against the flow.

Chris Felton recommends that we do a distributed class.  We would like 
you Jan to do a general presentation on the software and theory, and 
then dive into hands on application. I think we should be done in a 
day.  I think the Silicon Valley standard is do it on a weekend.   
Better yet, you might want to do a video presentation one Saturday, 
people can read the web site during the week, and then come back the 
following Saturday for a class room class, where the "experts" look over 
your shoulder to help you.

Next question can we use the content from the website for the flyers?  
Since the back side of the flyer will sell the class, this is commercial 
use, and needs your approval.

And would you be willing to introduce the class?  How many hours of 
presentation would you like to do?

Is there anyone else who would like to do a presentation on this material for the class? Who else is interested in building the hardware demo, and editing up the google docs presentation?
