Okay, so you're planning on setting up and hosting your own EDEX server then? I 
assume you 
were planning on using our distribution that is open to the public?  Or do you 
have some 
access to the NWS version of AWIPS?
Have you ever installed our version of CAVE and pointed to our public EDEX 
server to get
used to how CAVE works?

Yes, our online courses are completely free.  We have you create an account so 
you can pause
and come back to the course at any point and pick up where you left off.

Our current AWIPS team has not hosted any trainings or workshops since we began 
(we both 
started right before the pandemic), but, historically, it is something we've 
done and we're
currently planning on putting together a CAVE training for AMS 2024.  I assume 
you might be
interested more on the EDEX side of things though?  We have talked about 
putting together
EDEX workshops in the past, but as of right now, it is not high on our priority 
list.

If you could keep us posted of your needs as you transition to using AWIPS that 
would be
appreciated.

Thanks!
