I don't have a workshop or webinar on DocBook,
because I always tailor training to an audience's needs. However, on several
occasions I've introduced DocBook to potential implementors using
a PowerPoint presentation titled "Single Source Publishing with DocBook
XSL". You can browse the slides from the link on my website's home
page http://www.sagehill.net. I
could make available the PPT file if requested. Of course, a PPT file is
not a complete presentation because the slides simply prompt the speaker (me)
who fills in the details and answers questions.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Docbook workshop
syllabi?
Has anyone developed a half-day workshop or one-or-two-hour
webinar on Docbook?
I work with a software project that is considering
a proposal to adopt Docbook for its documentation needs. It has been suggested
that a workshop might help build buy-in and bring more people into the
native-XML-production fold (versus producing documentation on the wiki or in
Word, the two formats now used for our project). Some of the topics considered
for this workshop/webinar include demonstrating the use of core elements in a
model chapter, using communications devices such as tips and callouts, and
possibly even advanced topics such as interacting with subversion, automating
the transformation to multiple formats, etc.
The goals would be
that participants would walk away from the workshop more familiar and
comfortable with Docbook, and with a nice sample template in hand for those
interested in making contributions.
If you've developed such a workshop
I'd love to hear from you.
