i have suggested this before - and dont mind repeating myself. The
best way to do this is conduct a big session in a star hotel with a
fat registration fee, limited participants and concentrate on
server setup - slipping in desktop stuff as an 'afterthought'. If
you need a banner under which to hold this, NRC-FOSS is there -
also to bear the expense. Any profit made would be available for
LUG activities in the NRC-FOSS account. I am sure the LUG has
sufficient big names to make the session attractive.
I love that. Lay the marketing fat thick. For all we know it might
actually work. And since we have already tried out the least cost
route many times, we might as well try out the most cost route.
so what syllabus do we have? Two aspects are needed - 1. server setup
using linux (which is our USP) and 2. Desktop services that must be
there for SME migration.
for no. 1:
Firewall server with multi isp balancing
Mail server
Quotas for disk space and bandwidth
Monitoring bandwidth usage
Security
Clustering and farms
Fileservers - Samba
Asterix, VPN, VOIP
for no. 2:
Sound
Printing
FA
ERP, CRM, etc
Multimedia and graphics
Wine?
Maybe if there is enough interest we could develop this syllabus on
the wiki
