It is at the top of my list, because we didn't have time when I first talked to Juan to hash the details out. I'll also find out what distro he willbe focusing on, if any. I think he's a SUSE guy, but I'm not sure. > Will JG be teaching, and expect some guest-lecturers to add N-minute > contributed "stand-ups".

My understanding is that JG will be teaching and expect guest lecturers to do N-minute additions, but is probably amenable to planned topics and topic augmentation too. > I'll be there and willing to pitch in some time if my knowledge matches > the requirements, but not to the exclusion of installations and > troubleshooting work -- ie not 100% of the day. Understood. I think that's pretty much the view of all the Installfest regulars. I'll make sure he is aware of this as well. > It would help to clarify the objectives. :-) I'll try to get ahold of any lesson plans or course overviews he may have.
