Hello, everyone!

It's a busy time for Plone training--the very successful conference in 2006 
has really launched a lot of interest in classes, both public and custom.

With that in mind, we're announcing our upcoming classes:

REPORT ON INDIA

Two weeks ago, we held the first-ever weeklong public Plone course in India. 
With students coming from several countries in the Asia and India continents, 
we covered building Plone sites with a special focus on multilingual, 
international sites. It was a great experience working with these students, 
and learning more about how dedicated India is becoming to the ideals of Open 
Source.

A huge thank you to Mahiti (http://mahiti.org),
who helped organize this 
course. Thanks, Sree and everyone!


Thanks for your interest in our courses. If I can answer any questions on 
upcoming courses, custom courses, or good references for Plone work or 
learning Plone, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best,

- j.
