@solymi I used @schmidi referral and joined ecency. We only had a short talk at Block & Wine and he did not mention the workshop.

Reason I agreed to take the workshop: When I had asked to HiveP at Block & Wine how can I join the hive meetup to learn more on hive and blogging. I was told that the hive meetup is for socializing rather than discussing technicals and it is better to take the workshop to get exposure to the community.

Because of the above explanation, I thought perhaps every new-comer has to take workshop so that they do not bother others of beginner questions at the hive meetup.

My experience still holds true.

@schlees Tagging you for reference since you also had questions about the sequence of events.
