Proposed Workshop Training Modules and Structure

This is the draft outline for an intensive 3-day Fedora workshop for developers and repository administrators. The workshop days will be broken up into smaller modules that build on each other. Module materials will be developed to serve in both instructor-led and self-paced learning environments.
