Hey Kevin, I would like to get involved somehow.
I used to work at one of the (if not the) most successful computer training school in the world. I was only an Admin Ass't at the time, but I sure gained a lot of perspective regarding training and everything. I also used to know the Account Executive who signed CBE on to that company. I could also see about connecting up with the owner of that school and seeing if he can work with us as well. They don't do Linux training right now, but it could be something they might be willing invest in. The owner is always looking for an edge on the other guys. I have been wanting to develop a presentation on "Selling Linux"..or as some (including Kevin) have called it..."Linuxmanship." Would be interested on having a go at developing something.
