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?
