Team Training [do not close]

[lifflander]

This issue is to track/record training that we do for the DARMA team and training sessions we run for the EMPIRE team (or other application teams). Training sessions where we review code together or do performance analysis of applications shall be tracked here.

If you learn something during a session with me (or anyone else on the team), please record:

• What was covered (keep this very high-level, no details that can't be publicly shared)
• Who was involved
• Date it occurred

Sample that should be filled out per training session
