At the very beginning I'd like to thank AD Alex for reccomending me for the CoL award. It is my first CoL since year 2002, so it has a great meaning for me.

[New TOA and EH Library renovation]
CPT Werdna has resigned as the TOA last week. Because the Training Office has many projects to be completed and I'm not able to do everything myself, I've chosen a new TOA - Baron Slowbacca. His PHP skills as well as experience gained in the BHG will for sure be a great support for me. His first task will be a renovation of the EH Library, created by me long time ago. The new layout and some coding were already done so I hope for a quick completion of this project. It probably will use an ELS system and after it is done, the Library will become a part of the Imperial University.

[Imperial University progress]
Works on the Imperial University, which is being builded on planet Ullyr, are progressing faster than it could be expected. Last week's transport of workers and technicians speeded everything up. Thanks to Baron Slowbacca from the BHG, who has delivered some communications equipment, our main computer has been linked to the Citadel. I'm still upgrading the XML parser and adding new features. In the future all training facilities in other subgroups will be connected with this one in the same way. Also, I've decided to change the project's name. Since now it will be called the Imperial Academy. This change will prevent mixing it with the Imperial University existing in the Imperial Senate's body.

[New rule for competitions is comming]
Like I have announced shortly after my promotion to the Training Officer, I'm going to require a RP background for both - flying and non-flying - competitions (except trivias and some other which I will specify later). I still won't enforce that rule for some time but you should start getting used to it. You can expect me start denying comps which don't follow this rule within a month.

[Competitions dating reminder]
Competitions can't be longer than 3 (three) months. After that time they must be resubmitted. Not properly dated comps will be denied.

[CA:TO spot info]
CA:TO position is NOT open for applications and I'm not planning to open it anytime soon. So please stop bugging me on IRC about it. It's getting annoying.

[Articles of Training]
These articles are a list of rules for the TO staff as well as for all EH members. I've written them down to prevent misunderstandings and complains about the Office and its staff. Document has been sent to the FC and XO and is waiting approval.
