i have my big 'yay' on this. however doing it "free as in beer" is perhaps not a good idea. we can take nominal fee *just to* cover refreshments, etc; also helps filter out the real interested ones. foss nepal community still lags in real code contribution, perhaps these kind of classes might fix that.
also, running the class everyday continuously might be hard on both trainer and trainee end. why dont we spread the classes over holidays (saturday/sunday) and treat each class like hackathon. then till next class everybody can code on the ideas generated during the class. ~jwalanta On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 9:31 PM, pravin joshi <[email protected]> wrote: > Walking on the road this evening, I came across an idea.
