This is what is happening at the OSTC.

* Compiling your Kernel http://www.ostc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27

It seems that my strategy of giving people the choice of when they want
classes held isn't working.  So I will try a different strategy.  The
Compiling your Kernel class will be held this Saturday afternoon at 1:00pm.
Christopher Sawtell will be teaching this class.  The purpose of the class
is not to compile a kernel for you but for you to learn how to do it for
yourself.  If you intend to attend this class, please sign up at the above
URL.

* Debian Package Management http://www.ostc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24

There is still some interest in this class, but we have no instructor.  Are
there any keen Debian users out there who want to show off their favourite
package manager?

* Shell Scripting http://www.ostc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28

Christopher Sawtell has volunteered to take a course on Shell Scripting.
This course will be a series of about 3 classes, each lasting a couple of
hours.  If we get some more interest in this course, we can schedule a time
for it.

If there is something else you are interested in learning about, post a
message to http://www.ostc.org/forum/ and we will see what we can do.

I would also like to know how many people would be interested in a LPI
Certification Preparation Course?  The course would be divided in to 6 to 8
classes of 2 to 3 hours duration each.  The classes could either be held 2
nights a week or on Saturday afternoons.  The course is aimed at people who
want to do system admin type work rather than home users.

Obviously for a course like this, the cost will have to be a lot more than
$10 each.  There is a lot more preparation involved and we would need to
print the courseware for you to take home.  I also wouldn't ask any
instructor to donate that much time for free, so they will need to be paid.
I haven't set a price yet, but I am interested to know if there is a demand
for such a course.
