ScreenCast RoadMap/Courses (Nick and mattyw volunteer to help :-)

= Real Life Charm Schools =

0. Use the GUI.
1. Hard limit 2 hours.
1. Dogfood gojuju.
1. More cross-cloud deployments.

= Promoting screencasts =
1. blog about them as they are done
2. Possibly "seed" related articles in press/websites. Most of them love free content, if we (okay, evilnick) wrote a free tutorial which also linked to screencasts, it should improve views and drag in a bigger audience

[USER STORIES]

James is a sysadmin at a company and is interested in Juju and wants to share his knowledge with his coworkers with an internal training event.

Kirk is a developer who wants to get smart on Juju but needs something better than reading the docs, but can't attend any conferences where there's a Charm School.

Robert runs an OpenStack user group and wants to show people how to use Juju to get OpenStack up and running quickly for his users.

Lars meets Jason at a conference who asks him about Juju and if he's willing to do an on-the-spot charm school for his coworkers.
