I am delighted by the level of interest in Linux on AI. To the extent Internet access is not a problem, we can certainly try to help people online as well. So, not just the theory, even the practical part can be shared. Online participants must download a copy of Oralux, which can be obtained from http://oralux.org/
Perhaps we can schedule an online discussion ahead of the workshop, to make sure everybody's mike is attached and working, and also to discuss workshop content.
