Course scheduling and Geekmas - are they traditions yet?

How many years does it take to establish a tradition?

Can I say that this is the time of year when, traditionally, we schedule next year's training program? It's something that we've done here at Well House Consultants since the Summer of 2000, and prior to that it's something I used to be involved in every August (see here and here) at First Alternative. Anyway - next year's course dates are all up on our web site - see http://www.wellho.net/course/index.html and can be booked at 2006 prices if you confirm by 31st December.

Is Geekmas a tradition?. It certainly feel as if it's becoming one, even though this is just its third year. It started in Novermber 2004, with us throwing open our doors for a free two-day series of Open Source talks, lectures, seminars, discussions - and coffee, food and a curry too - on the last weekend of November. Although primarily intended for course delegates who want to catch up on the latest developments, we welcome any and all technical friends, but we do ask you to let us know if you'll be attending ahead of time - there's more details here

This year, our Geekmas celebration moves from our current training centre in The Spa in Melksam to "Well House Manor" - our new business hotel which opens its doors at the end of next month, just a few hundred yards up the road towards the town centre. We'll have space for more people to attend, an additional conference room so that we can run two tracks if need be, and overnight accommodation available (that has to be charged for, I'm afraid) for people who are travelling a distance.
