[DDI-users] Workshop: Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) - Train the Trainers

[Jared Lyle]

Dear DDI community,

I strongly encourage participation in the recently announced DDI Train the
Trainer workshop (see description below).  Please consider attending
yourself, or recommending someone else.  This is a great opportunity to
learn more about DDI, as well as spread the word about DDI through creating
training materials and teaching future workshops within your local
communities.

Instruction on how to apply are detailed below.  Special thanks to GESIS -
Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences for hosting the workshop, and to
Jon Johnson, Wendy Thomas, Dan Smith, and Joachim Wackerow for organizing
and teaching.
