If you've got IRSSI running somewhere, you can use connectbot on android
phones to access the same as you would under

Just a quick comment about the style of training. There are four styles of
learning, which someone will naturally fall into. These, typically are put
onto a cross-hairs style graph.
Theory first
Practical second
Instructor Experimentation
Lead.

I would like to be part of it. I am learning on my own, but it would be
good to have taught lessons.

Overall this is a great idea. I think we need to clarify who this is
aimed at. Off the top of my head I can think of three broad categories:
Individuals wanting to run a proper operating system at home
People wanting to introduce Ubuntu into their workplace
Students wanting to use it in their stud
I have forwarded the e-mail to the uk-hackspaces mailing list, as there are
several regional hackspaces across the UK (London, Birmingham, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds) who may be able to help - in some cases with venue and in
others with knowledge.
