I can be one of the instructors.

[LJWilliams]

I would love to, but it is probably to $$$$ to go overseas

[mikej888]

@LJWilliams, sorry yes, I don't think Alex can cover the cost of flying an instructor over so we'll be going local.

[mikej888]

Asked Alex on status of seeking a room and machines at the conference, whether it seems this will go ahead, how he'd envisaged handling registration (offered EventBrite) and to confirm dates.

[mikej888]

Alex: It appears we can get the software installed on there, but that hasn't actually happened yet. My contact in IT Support is having a meeting about this in the next few days. In any case, we will find somewhere to run the course.

We will proceed with the course. I would be happy to use EventBrite to handle the registration. I plan to give priority to a group of students that will be attending the Beacons conference in Bath the week before the boot camp, but I would be happy to let extra spaces go to the public.

Why are all the UK boot camps next to my relatives? Possible, and as I may be on holiday down there (Trowbridge) at the time, very cheap too.. (I'll have to recuse myself from the other boot camps though). Edit: If we are in the area, I'll definitely offer to come along as a helper to see how these run.

[mikej888]

Chris Woods, Bristol, volunteered as an instructor.

[mikej888]

Dhavide Aruliah from Canada, may be able to instruct/help if times permit.

[mikej888]

Jeremy Metz, University of Exeter, may attend as helper.

[eddiejessup]

Elliot Marsden, University of Edinburgh, I'm happy to attend as a helper

[fcullen]

Fergus Cullen, University of Edinburgh, can attend as a helper

[davidmam]

As I said upthread, I may be nearby and will then come along as a helper.

[mikej888]

Dhavide can't make it.

[mikej888]

Alex and I think we should have a telcon on WB20/05 to discuss the timetable and who does what. Chris (@chryswoods), please could you fill in the Doodle poll (http://www.doodle.com/wkeg9p4dgwnensfp).

@eddiejessup, @fcullen, @davidmam, you are welcome to attend too if you are still planning to attend as helpers. Please confirm this either way, thanks.

[fcullen]

Just to confirm, I'm still keen to help out. Do we also need to attend the telecon?

[davidmam]

family issues may make my attendance - nothing serious but my mother in law who lives near Bath and with whom I would stay may be moving house to somewhere nowhere near Bath.

[eddiejessup]

I'm also happy to help out, let me know if there's anything I need to sort out.
