Re prime time not ready for Linux, deviations

[Ralph Pichie]

Deviations from Ubuntu? I say it's a conspiracy of deviated preverts!
(The older film fans will likely get that reference. ;)

On topic, we might get prime time a bit more ready for Linux using the
marketing campaigns of various colleges that want to appear trendy and
differentiate themselves from the competition. I noticed a reputable
college that is advertising for Continuing Education instructors that
have skills/experience related to a potential course or two. Certainly
an intro to free software/Ubuntu/green IT for non-compsci makes sense?
I'll be sending my resume and a suggestion or two this evening and
dropping by the main campus tomorrow.

Anybody have experience with proposing and/or teaching something like
that in a school board or community college environment?
