Hi, A tentative outline was proposed by Dan Scott on the code4libcon list in October: * Quick intro to Evergreen * Installing Evergreen prereqs on Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo (possibly concurrent with Installing VMWare Player for Windows folk) ** Half-hour coffee break / help people finish up / let Gentoo people finish their prereq compiles * Installing OpenSRF and Evergreen * Configuring basic connectivity using 'localhost' and testing connections via srfsh / catalog / staff client * Configuring the system with the whiz-bang Django admin tool * Test basic staff client tasks: copy cataloging, adding patrons, circulating books ** Lunch * Bulk-loading data: bib records, holdings, patrons * Evergreen internals: adding new export methods, etc. Naturally, this will have to be trimmed to suit the new format. Anything in particular you would like to see? -bill -- Bill Erickson | VP, Software Development & Integration | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [log in to unmask] | web: http://esilibrary.com
