Preparing for Jimma

A few months ago Jean-Marc asked me if I would be interested to give Drupal training in Ethiopia. Without asking further information, I agreed immediately! And now Saturday, it's finally coming. Of course, in the past few months I did gather the extra info. At the University of Jimma I'm gonna give training to the the ICT Development Office and ICT members from colleges. The initiative for the training comes from UGent, who has several training tracks in co-operation with VLIR-UOS. We will be splitting the training in two phases. A technical track and a usage track. And this spread over two weeks A non-exhausting list of topics in the training:

  • Installation
    • Server configuration
    • Development and production environment
    • Security
    • Drupal install
      • Drush
    • multisite
    • multi language
    • contributed modules
      • Views
      • CCK
      • Community
      • SEO
    • Profiles
  • Build your own module
    • How to start
    • Hooks
    • Form API
    • Services
    • Security
  • Drupal theming
    • Templates

As you can notice, it will be a rather busy agenda. Well, I'm fully preparing for my departure now. My flights leaves Saturday at 17h40 CET from Brussels Airport. And I'll arrive at Addis Ababa (Ethiopian capital) 6:20 AM. This still puts me about 330km from Jimma, and the quickest way is an national flight. I'll arrive Sunday in Jimma at 11:55 AM. And what happens next? We'll see. But I'm excited to find out!More info at:
