Does someone want to write up a quick announcement about Training? NWP wants to announce the dates of the online version (aka MOOC) to their network + community. I'm happy to write it up, but thought you all might want to write this? I'd say < 200 words (just guessing) and reusable for across the web :)

--Webmaker Training starts May 12.
--There are 4 modules, you don't have to take them all, you can pick and choose. Each module will BE FACILITATED (by teachtheweb team) for just a week (but they never "end". 
--Each week will have a Twitter Chat (unless you disagree?)
--Each week will have a HOMAGO live session (unless you disagree)
--Each week will have a large section of the TeachTheWeb call

The site is here: http://training.webmakerprototypes.org
heylo, can you add some cc/needinfos for people who might be good for this job?

@ Laura: can you just draft this up and publish to your blog?

* Then paste the link here. I'll edit it up a bit, post to the Webmaker blog, and then you can use that URL for sharing with partners, etc.

* Sound good?

Boom! Thanks Laura. 

Can I publish this to Webmaker blog Tuesday morning? Does that timing work?
You should connect with Lainie, she's on my backchannel (kind of wanted to write "BC" there :)

but it's fine with me!

Added Erica to cc on this. We chatted about it briefly yesterday - seems fine at this point to re-post on the Webmaker blog (today or tomorrow?), but then consider a more formal announcement strategy (perhaps Mozilla blog post) and media outreach based on the other bug and further discussion later this week.
+1 sounds good

* I'm editing this for the Webmaker blog now. More soon.
* Still working on this. 
* Will try to have completed by EOD today
Erica: can you review this draft to ensure it squares with the key messages in your Comms Plan?

Hi Matt, this is just Laura's blog post re-posted to the WEbmaker blog, yes?

Not really -- I re-wrote and edited it to make it much shorter

I think this looks good, Matt. I wonder if we take out the bullet about starting anytime for now (the one you flagged with a q for Laura), since we first want to get through the roll-out of each module. I might suggest we do weekly blog posts during those first four weeks–part recap and part to tease out the following week. Then we can do more messaging about them being available to start anytime. Let me know what you think.
Erica - does this seem ok with you? Would love to schedule this to post on Monday before we all head out if possible.

>  take out the bullet about "starting anytime" for now 

Yes. Let's do that. 

* Erica S: I think some of the updated language in this post will provide fodder for the press prep on this you guys want to do at All Hands
* https://mofocomms.etherpad.mozilla.org/traininglaunchcommsplan (line 126)

* To do: we also need to link test and make sure we're linking to the right pages, and that those pages are the right ones to put in front of mainstream public and press. The links are staged here:
