**Do students or apprentices need to be directly involved in a Drupal Open Learning project?**
-
Projects with tight deadlines or strict requirements may not allow for students to be directly involved. By developing in the open, a client can provide opportunities to learn by observation, generate exposure for their brand, and while ensuring their requirements are met.

**What is the difference between Drupal Kata and Drupal Dojo?**
-
Dojo as an all-in-one learning repository, collaboration space, training program, and producer of high quality learning materials proved to be a bit too ambitious for a volunteer group. By separating out the project learning program (Drupal Kata), the Dojo can be more of a facilitator and marketing platform multiple learning groups, sprints, and community initiatives. The new Dojo website will provide users many ways to learn from watching, listening, reading materials, and virtually collaborating in real time.
You're doing a great job illustrating how much still needs to be done before there's a hosted product offering of any sort. Agreed there will be a wide range of costs & value added services depending on the product and the specific needs/budgets of the customer.
With regards to hosting, the price points will depend more on bandwidth and customer support, rather than whether the customer is spinning up a band site or radio site. For the latter, it's likely more customers will need more bandwidth and support than an indie band who could just barely afford the lowest priced monthly subscription level.
That all said... unless it would make good business sense to offer hosting before there are products, we should lower the priority for now.
OpenProducer, the product/service offering/superhero is still not it's own entity or a project of some other. Could Kendra still be an option? If not, I'm open to other suggestions....
This issue and referenced document was focusing more on hosted musician solutions... mainly because that was OpenProducer's primary target at the time... also there more musician specific offerings as opposed to something like radio.
In the end, the subscription pricing would be the same regardless if the customers is using the OpenProducer setup for bands, radio stations, or something else. Aside from the additional services, there could also be tiered pricing depending on bandwidth used.
That said, we've also discussed radio stations pre-paying 1k for a year hosting when the platform is ready. As that price point would be more, we'd most likely have to sell that as hosting & a certain amt of value added service.
Interested in hearing your thoughts on this, Chris.
As we're solidifying our plan to developing the product(s), I'd like to see if we can move forward with evaluating the bandwidth/cost of setting up, running and maintaining Aegir on AWS. The above convo may/may not give you a glimpse into where we left off.
