If you guys hold my wife down while I tell her that I'm off to tour the country for DSE to do some training in oss products then I'll be happy to get into planning such a thing with DSE if they want to fund it. I joined the oss mailing lists this morning but haven't seen any traffic from there yet. I also have to confess that I think I should sort out my samba shit first and actually make up a course and run it for David Kirk who's put in a lot of effort locally here. Chris Day - if you're reading and are interested in doing something then give me a call or drop me an email. I can see a heap of things that could be done but it really would need planning properly to make it worth while for DSE I think. Cheers Don
