Hi @qate_oh and @clrcrtq Welcome!!
@anaketa and I decided to have two half-day workshops, one for absolute beginners and the second one for advanced beginners. We need help at the actual workshops and organizing / preparing for them.
The main goals right now are
- Write training manual: https://github.com/OpenTechSchool/advanced-css
@anaketa already laid out the topics, so if either of you can take over a topic or find other CSS experts who can, that would be great.
I am proofreading and editing the English on my own GitHub fork and will do a pull request when Iām done: https://github.com/thatbettina/html-css-beginners
- Find coaches
@anaketa thinks that we should have an organizersā meeting before the workshops between 18 and 27 Sept. so if either of you want to set up a doodle for that, thatād be great.
Let me know if you have any questions / want to take on a task 
Welcome on board @qate_oh and @clrcrtq.
So yes as Bettina said and i said yesterday, the idea is to make an html/css beginners workshop (almost done, need review feedback and some latest stuff to write) and than an advanced Css workshop.
Here you can find the material, so you can have already have an idea:
If you already feel to write/edit/comment something in Github just do it 
Otherwise we will have our first coaches meetup, explain/talk with everybody and than work on the material again
Here is the doodle for the first coaches meet up:

The date of the workshop isnāt already set. We will discuss all together and see when most of the coaches are available.
Hello,
I also heard about this at the up.front meet up. Iād be interested in helping people starting out with HTML and CSS, Iām fairly new to the web dev world, about one years experience building websites, though I have been a Graphic Designer for 5+ years. I have a good handle on HTML, CSS and SASS, I think it would be useful to me helping out others and re affirming what I already know. Iāll fill in the doodle and look forward to meeting everyone soon

Hi,
I heard about the workshop when I met @bettina at the last Ultracode. I already helped at the JavaScript for Beginners and think I know enough for the HTML/CSS for beginners. So whenever you need help, let me know. I will be on hollidays until the first week of Oktober, meaning I have some free time 
@ben: The Twitter-Account setup didnāt work for me. Just a blank page in Firefox. Though of addons blocking it, but my āvanillaā chrome shows nothing as well.

ehy Hi Kaj! Nice to see you again helping out with OTS workshop
Please fill in the doodle http://doodle.com/envna9urih2u428b so we can organize for the meeting.
see you soon
A thought from the OTS organizersā breakfast on Thursday: We need to write in what people need to have installed for the Beginner CSS workshopāChrome, text editor, etcā¦
So it seems like Wed, Sept. 25 at 7:30pm is the best time for the most amount of people.
I guess weāre meeting at co.upācan we just squat the JavaScript meetup space? And I assume the usual people @xMartin @Autarc responsible for keys will be there?
So yes, is 25th. I have the space Keys and Iām already organized with Aleks.

Hello Guys!
I have a big update for you!
We probably run the workshop on 19th since we found that RailsGirls and PyLadies are making a workshop on the same day so we are trying to make something all together.
Thatās will be very cool experience and a good visibility for all the organization/people/IT workshop events.
So iām worry for who of you said that couldnāt make it on 19th, anyway anything is set up yet, we are still talking with the others organization and still waiting the answer from 3 venue for see who can host us.
I will keep you update!
Hello,
was nice to meet everyone at the meet last week. If the workshop runs on Saturday the 19th thatās good for me
Iām planning to go to the up front meet up on Tuesday so if anyone seeās me come and say Hi.
Cheers,
Alex
Hey,
Sry I couldnāt be at the meeting but Iām still interested in coaching. The thing is that I will be at the RailsGirls event on the 19th. Do you already know what the collaboration with RailsGirls, PyLadies and OpenTechSchool will look like? Will it be possible to coach and attend at the same time or should I decide which event would be more fitting for me?
Hi lislis,
the idea with others girls is to have three different workshop, unfortunately in three different place (since co-up is full) but we are trying to find a place near co-up in order to make the lunch and the evening event together (or at least give the chance to make it together for whom want)
But we still didnāt get any answer from any place, so we are still without a venue.
So if anyone know any possible place for host us, please let us know!
Thanks
Hey all,
Iām writing down this post to notify my envy to participate as a coach for the next events. My schedule is at the moment quite tight but I would be very glad to help you beforehand and then during the event.
If there is anything I can do at the moment, Iāll consecrate some time on it with great pleasure.
Cheers,
Louis
We found a place!
We will run the workshop on 19th in ImmobilienScout!!
We need to create the meetup event now, so please tell me who can coach for sure.
We are almost in time so please answer me as soon as possible, writing here your name!
Unfortunately will be not so pratical jump from one workshop to another, since co-up and Immobilien arenāt so close but we are thinking to make the evening event all together.
So, who can coach?!
Gio
@lhache, @lislis, @Autarc, @Alex, @clrcrtq, @m_besser, @Kaj @qate_oh ?
