[Ubuntu Chicago] quiet around here

[Chad Sutton]

I really like the idea offering free classes, as long as someone is
willing to put in the time on the community. People that are willing
to help with future classes, work on course materials, or help with
marketing, etc... should not have to pay for anything (other than the
cost of materials).

Not everyone wants to participate in the community (they are
interested in the free as in beer part), which is totally fine. But
those people should have to pay for the class.

This is a great way to build up a great local community. People with
either work or pay for the benefits. We gain either way and keep the
classses accessible to anyone with the will to make a difference.
