Training the Trainers
summary
Packages the ad hoc workshop material into laptop setup guides, builds interactive training missions, and runs weekend workshops that draw real numbers: an early run gets 51 signups 30 selected and roughly 30% women. Vagrant + Ruby bindings for reproducible VMs proves fragile on Windows so dependencies get bundled and the Django app runs with python manage py runserver. The web missions and revised format reliably teach patch, git and IRC skills and sustain ~15%+ women participation in the Boston replication.
