Kudos!
Is that Stephen Abram leading this? I would not be surprised.

Hi all.
You may be interested to know that there is a new learning concept
taking hold, in a very unusual context. Libraries around the world are
getting involved in "leaning circles", in which a group of learners
work together with each other, online training, library-supplied
facilitation staff and sporadic involvement by subject experts.
The concept is going global, and different libraries are leading the
way in different fields. As it turns out, the global leader in Linux
learning circles is right here at the Toronto Public Library. Toronto
and Nairobi are the first in the world to be welcoming "new to Linux"
attendees who run the range from absolute newcomers to people looking
to change careers or others who are in IT in other realms and want to
learn Linux.
The initial run of four-week "Linux Unhatched" circles is just now
concluding. I audited them at three of the six different branches
(Keele&Wilson, University@College, Yonge@Eglinton) at which they were
held. Response has been great. At the sessions I attended I talked up
GTALUG as a way for participants to keep their interest after the
sessions are over and maybe we'll get some new participants as a result.
For its next step, the TPL is offering a 70-hour course on Linux
Essentials, based on the LPI certificate program of the same name and
done through the Cisco Networking Academy.

If you know anyone interested in Linux, this is a great way to start
learning...
