[OpenLayers-Users] Any options for an introductory OpenLayers training?

[Freeman, Aleda (EEA)]

I think I have a number of users who would really love an OpenLayers
training workshop (myself included).  A hands-on few hours "how to get
started with OpenLayers".  The online examples are good, but sometimes
it helps to have a training to get jump started.  I went to a 4 hours
"how to get started with Google Maps API" training earlier this week and
I found it very helpful.  The trainer did a Powerpoint and then let us
work on a tutorial while he went around the room helping us as we got
stuck.  Maybe something similar to this:
http://openlayers.org/blog/2008/10/29/openlayers-workshop-from-foss4g-20
08/ but with examples from MassGIS WMS.  

MassGIS has the GeoServer WMS, a web server where people could put their
stuff in their own directories, and a training room.  Now we just need a
trainer.  Is there anyone from the OpenLayers project who does this kind
of training?  Is there a fee involved?  

Thanks for any info you can give me.
