John,

That might be what the doctor ordered. I know some of the guys who are 
developers just yet are very interested, but don't want to be left out. I 
think something like this would be a great learning experience, that I know I 
sure could use as well. I always said, I can read the code, just can't speak 
it clearly yet. But hopefully these C++, C#, and Python courses will help fix 
that ;)

I'm sure the guys here would be interested in learning more about a hack fest, 
even if it wasn't distro dependent. Thanks again John, and I will pass the 
news on to the CoD LUG, which it seems some of them have made it out to your 
past events as well. Talk to you soon.
