Soaring Software Academy before SSA Convention
Hi,
The Soaring Society of America is arranging an exciting new software training opportunity on the Wednesday, February 9th before the start of the SSA convention in Ontario, California. Mark your calendars now. Registration will be available on the SSA web site soon. Space is limited so register early. Training classes will be offered on StrePla, SeeYou and WinPilot products. I will be leading the course on StrePla at 4 PM and pocket*StrePla at 5 PM. The full schedule is available he http://www.ssa.org/convention/schedule.asp The classes are designed to be valuable for current users of the products and pilots interested in learning more about them before buying. Topics will include the basics for beginners as well as advanced features for experienced users. Of course attending the classes means you will need to arrive at the convention early, but I'm sure you will find learning experience worth the time. I imagine there are features of these powerful products that you have not used yet or do not fully understand. I will make sure that the classes I lead are well organized but will also take requests for help on specific features of interest. Be sure to bring your laptop computer and/or Pocket PC so you can get the most out of the training. Thank you, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com |

That would be an interesting contest rule change - everyone hooks to one
towplane and the clock starts as soon as you release.... Bob Lepp wrote: Snip..

Hi Guy,
I agree that the selection of vendors is somewhat arbitrary, but if every vendor was given an hour it would take 3 days. I would have liked to have a session for Glide Navigator II users as well, but time was limited and I didn't get to pick who is offering the training sessions. It is my impression that WinPilot, StrePla and SeeYou were chosen because they are perceived as the market leaders. That is argueable of course - I think Glide Navigator II has sold more licenses than some of the brands selected. However, I applaud the SSA for supporting this excellent idea and I can live with their decision (although I'm biased because I sell and support StrePla and SeeYou). I believe Sue McMaster (SeeYou-USA) deserves all the credit for the idea and Jim Skydell ran with the idea and made it happen with support from the SSA. The SSA says this is a first "trial run" effort that can be expanded upon next year if it is successful. I hope people are willing to come to the convention early to take advantage of the free training. It will be worth it. I see that the SSA web site is ready to accept registrations he http://www.ssa.org/online/cat17.htm Walk-ins are welcome but please register so we can plan space and refreshments accordingly.

Hi Bob,
Funny. It has to be a typo... I think... Also, they seem to have a typo for the soaring flight software shootout on Saturday - the description is "PANEL - Battle of DPDA Cockpit Software". What is "DPDA"? Digital Personnal Digital Assistant? I imagine it should be PDA but it sounds like "D' PDA" as in "Hey Vinnie, are you goin' ta' bring me duh PDA or what?"
