The event-long XT-IDE workshop, I think, did really well last year. A lot of people were able to build boards up, test them in a known-good XT, and take home something that they were 100% sure would work. Since it ran for the whole event, a number of people would come in, work some, then take a break and come back later. I'd be happy to help run something like that for badges, whether it's Lee Hart's badge or something else.

Are any of our VCF-MW brethren confirmed

I'd love to see AM: build the badge PM: assembler programming the badge
There are too few session slots already. We're not going to devote any
of
them to badges.
This gives me an idea though ... a few years ago we had a single assembly session, which wasn't enough.
We could have a whole track of assembly classes for different processors. Bring your laptop (and favorite emulator), follow along with the instructors.
just some constructive suggestions try to allot more than 1hr, maybe 2hr so the class has time to get situated, practice the example code, and ask questions Because this is most likely a beginners class, because if it's any higher level of instruction, well, there still won't be enough time alloted for the experienced users if you expect to squeeze 4 or 5 different assembly classes into a single track on one day Als4o the instructor should have some method to make the example code available, eg, a wiki page, which they can download prior to the class, or handout a usb thumbdrive to share the example code [again time needed to get situated] Dan
When I used to run the workshops we had targeted objectives for the assembly class I may still have the worksheet Dan created for the cp/m gen class that involved z80 assembly. That was at least 10 years ago.
