Comprehensive Training Calendar/Map
The Center for Progressive Leadership has put together an impressive tool aggregating information on organizer/leadership/campaign trainings all across the country. So far, the tool comes in two flavors so far: calendar and Google Map. Widgetized and RSS versions are in the works and as soon as they are ready this calendar will become a permanent feature in the Future Majority sidebar.
This is a very cool development. There are dozens of progressive trainings occurring across the country every month, but the information about them is scattered and difficult to find if you aren't connected to the right networks. This opens up the whole field and will be a valuable resource for all organizations to provide to their members.
Here's a few snapshots.

Great to see this up and
Great to see this up and functional. I helped with the creation of this calendar when it was originally hosted on the New Organizing Institute site. I remember the CPL folks discussing the possibility of adding a map, and I've got to say it's more useful than I expected. Why so few trainings in CA though? I guess it's encouraging that progressive orgs are branching out and hosting trainings in small red states (ie OK, AR, AL).
