Dear folks, Michael Bishop, who runs the computer lab and the computer courses for McKinley Community School (the free or cheap adult ed), has put together a nice set of Linux offerings for the summer session and NO ONE is signing up. The courses will have to be cancelled if there aren't at least ten people in them.
Now you on the list may know all you need to know about Linux basics, Apache, Samba, SQL, etc. -- but I don't. I want to take the Linux basics course on Fridays at 11:30 AM and I'm only the third person signed up. We need seven more people! Plus people to take the other Linux courses. This is a fantastic opportunity to teach Linux. It isn't being taught in the HCC CENT classes and probably not at any of the computer academies in town. They're all M$. We need to publicize and support this program. Perhaps you could proselytize some of your significant others, who wonder what you're doing at the computer all day, and sent them off to Linux basics class? I would surely appreciate this chance to learn more about Linux in a structured way. -- Karen Lofstrom Linux wannabe
