Training Office Report #11
Admiral Keldorn Reporting – 24th May 2003
I returned from leave yesterday and can safely say I am utterly exhausted. My utmost thanks go out to those Officers that stood in for me during this absence, such help is appreciated.
Colonel Aeishline Strathaven, an individual who accomplished much for the Training Office resigned recently. The Office extends our gracious thanks to her for all her work, and wishes her well in future endeavours. Due to her resignation, the position of Professor of the BitchX Course is now open for applications.
The Training Office has begun the development of a short competition that will be launched (with hope on our side) within the next two weeks. In keeping with the tradition of TO competitions, this enterprise will again be fictionally themed; the working title for this competition is “Apostasy”. Myself and my TOA have already begun the framework of the competition, and will be contacting various Command Officers and SubGroup Officers within the next few days.
After consultation with various Officers, I have decided to approve the proposal by the COO and CM Per-Aa that a standing competition be implemented to award participation in official EH MP competitions (namely those held in #EHCOC). Thus far this only applies to the TIE Corps (awarding an Iron Star Gold Wings etc.), whereby the individual pilot(s) who participate in the most MP matches (regardless of win, loss etc.) will be recognised for their participation with awards. The competition has yet to be implemented, and once it has I will be talking to the applicable SubGroup Officers about implementation EH-wide.
Congratulations to the newly promoted TIE Tactics Professor, Commander Gandalf. A well deserved elevation.
The Training Office is now accepting Course proposals. With stability now re-established within IWATS, and a full compliment of IWATS Staff on the near horizon, I have decided to re-open the Office to proposals of new Courses to be included in the IWATS repertoire. There are a few restrictions upon proposals; I am open to many diverse and innovative ideas, and would like to encourage the proposal of specifically non-programming Courses at this time. The Courses under consideration so far are:
- Cascading Style Sheets.
- Sound Processing/Editing.
- General Multiplayer.
- Star Wars Galaxies.
BitchX Professor Open for Applications
The requirements are:
- An active member of the Emperor’s Hammer holding the rank of Lieutenant (or equivalent) or above.
- Extensive knowledge of the open-source IRC client, BitchX (http://www.bitchx.org/).
- Be able to grade exam submissions within 24 hours.
- Keeping Graduate Counts (total and per month).
- Maintaining/updating the Course Notes (basic HTML knowledge necessary; or a good WYSIWYG editor).
Applications should be sent to me (to@emperorshammer.org) with the subject “BitchX PROF Application”.
