The OU run a photography short course and many evening classes run basic photography classes - all tend to require Windows and some form of photo manipulating software (the OU course supplies Adobe Photoshop Elements). Obviously, there is a demand for courses on photography - and, with the Gimp being available for both Windows and Linux (not sure about Macs), that is a good angle - distribute a disk with the Gimp on it to the Windows users (e.g the OpenCD disk, which has other useful software too for Windows users) and then run the course based on the tutorials and perhaps a few "personal" tweaks. I would be interested in attending such a course locally, as would my wife (who is much more of a photographer than I am).
