Hi @eggya,

Thank you for opening this. When could we have a quick chat to catch up about this even and startup with preparations? Please ping me on Gophers Slack (@dlsniper) or e-mail: florin[at]golangbridge [...] org. Looking forward to talk with you.

Kind regards, Florin

@dlsniper I have been communicating with @eggya on this. Let me catch you up on Slack and I would love to help you on this workshop.

[eggya]

Thank you @ardan-bkennedy & @dlsniper for your support, I'm really excited about this workshop. I'll try to say hi to @dlsniper today.

[dlsniper]

Here's the summary of the discussion we've had yesterday on Hangouts:

• the course will be held across 3-4 weekends on Saturdays, probably for at least 6 hours each time
• It is designed for new programmers, with very little programming experience
• the target group for attendance is young women graduates
• the venue can host around 20-25 participants
• there are at least two possible teachers for this as well as two teaching assistants
• this should be done in collaboration with the Women Who Go London chapter

Things to do going forward:

• for organizer:
  • [ ] choose the dates and final format for the workshop
  • [ ] create the Bridge Troll class
  • [ ] find (more) sponsors for the event
  • [ ] organize catering
• for GoBridge:
  • [ ] provide the training material
  • [ ] provide the organizer presentation
  • [ ] provide the teacher presentation (when teachers are confirmed)
  • [ ] promote the event
  • [ ] try and help out with finding sponsors by using various available channels of communication

@eggya please let me know if I'm missing any details. Looking forward speaking to you again.
