Docbook workshop syllabi?

[Karen Schneider <kgschneider@gmail.com>]

Has anyone developed a half-day workshop or one-or-two-hour webinar on Docbook?

I
work with a software project that is considering a proposal to adopt
Docbook for its documentation needs. It has been suggested that a
workshop might help build buy-in and bring more people into the
native-XML-production fold (versus producing documentation on the wiki
or in Word, the two formats now used for our project). Some of the
topics considered for this workshop/webinar include demonstrating the
use of core elements in a model chapter, using communications devices
such as tips and callouts, and possibly even advanced topics such as
interacting with subversion, automating the transformation to multiple
formats, etc.  

The goals would be that participants would walk away from the
workshop more familiar and comfortable with Docbook, and with a nice
sample template in hand for those interested in making contributions.

If you've developed such a workshop I'd love to hear from you.
