If you want to run an EpiDoc workshop
If you would like to run or host an EpiDoc training workshop at some point, please in the first instance contact the Markup list to canvass the possible trainers for their availability.

Please be prepared to:


 * raise money to fund travel and accommodation (at least) for two or preferably three experienced trainers to visit and run the workshop
 * normally you should be prepared to pay the trainers a standard daily rate for their time as well

 * begin planning the workshop at least 6 months ahead, and be flexible
 * provide a seminar room with space for 15-20 participants to sit comfortably, with wireless internet access, data projection and plenty of power sockets/extension cables
