Thanks. Just wanting to help.
I have had requests for "Beginning Linux" classes. I am not sure what
the requestor is actually asking about but I am sure the beginner's
classes we have been doing would cover it. Stuff like surfing the net,
email, and basic "office" applications. One of the desktop classes
would fulfull their need. However, the people that have made the
request would like to do a 4 hour or so one day workshop kind of thing.
Personally, I'd like some Postgres, MySQL or other database type
training. Also Python would be good, if I am to do more in GNUe, which
I intend to do. ;^)
The price point is something I have not thought about. Charge too much
and people won't come. However, we ought to get something to at least
foot help defray facilities costs, even when Elite PC is being so
generous. I'll have to think about that.
