Web Service Software Factory v3 Customization Workshop - Should be a Webcast Folks...

If the workshop were in Tampa, I would definitely be there, but alas another P&P workshop primarily for those lucky enough to be in Redmond.
If you are big into GAX / GAT, the web service software factory, modeling tools, DSL's, and will probably need to customize the next version of the web service software factory before using it, there is a free, 3-day workshop ( July 30 - Aug 1 ) in Redmond that is right up your alley!
Description: “This 3 day workshop will walk you through the comprehensive process of adding a new model (an entity model) to the Service Factory: Modeling Edition. You will become very familiar will all aspects of the factory infrastructure: DSL models, recipe automation, model validation, cross-model references, model views, project mapping, technology extenders, code generation, and factory deployment. Because the workshop will be hosted by the Service Factory team and other Software Factory experts, you will also have the opportunity to ask questions, and get a glimpse into the future of the software factory platform.“
I love that the P&P Team does these things, but the sad story is that if you don't attend, you lose out. The hands on exercises available for download are never even close to being as good as the workshop.
Again, this should be part of a live / on-demand webcast so more people can learn, but my guess is that it will not be :(
Here is a quote from the workshop's description:
“Much of the feedback we’ve received about these technologies, with regard to building and modifying software factories, revolves around the difficulty of customizing them.”
This is no surprise, and a workshop open to a select few isn't really much of an answer.
