[LUG] courses at brixham college

 

Hi

I picked up a flyer today for brixham college adult education courses,  
from september they are running courses at the community learning suit 
at Churston Grammar school and have asked for ideas,  for courses.

This is an IDEAL opportunity to ask for linux based courses AND link to 
course materials,  I was thinking about the ubuntu course, partly as the 
teacher and student books are already written for this.

it says to pick up a flyer from churston library or galmpton GPO,  but 
as this is some distance from me, I have e-mailed them to ask if I can 
send in requests via e-mail.

1.  Does anyone live in that area and can they perhaps pick up a few 
flyers please, we can then meet up one weekend, fill in the flyers and 
send off.

If we are going to suggest this,  we should perhaps offer our expertise 
and at least help them do these courses,  even if its voluntary,  unless 
someone is suitably qualified (not me) to lead such sessions.

2. What do people think to this.

We need to show a united front,   put aside our opinions on ubuntu and 
other distros.

Anyone interested.  If enough of us,  put in a request,  then they make 
take Linux / OSS seriously.
Anyone willing to perhaps have a meet with them,  (evening perhaps ) and 
put our case to them on this one. ? Its worth suggesting I think as its hard
to do things via e-mail, phone,  but a good presentation with plenty of 
support from the LUG we could pull this off adn get something in Torbay 
at least.

I just need to find a link to those course materials,  

Paul
