For the moment, let's stick with skill sets and brainstorming first. Kevin has some kick butt ideas too.  That said,Eddie has some really good questions about the class proposal I make.  As does RJ.  (side note-even ubuntu/canonical charges for support, that does not violate the spirit.  Every class, however, would incorporate people who get to the class for free. I would not be the only teacher....I do not desire having another heart attack.  That is all I say about my idea until we get to phase two of this mess I am starting. ;) We are in phase one now.  Sharing talents and interest and brainstorming keen ideas. Phase two will be assembling a meeting to discuss project viability on ideas.  For those that cannot make the meeting, we will conference them in on either audio or video depending on their capabilities at home.  Phase three will be execution of projects and communicating this data to canonical and the other LoCo groups so we all become better. Now, I am off to bed.  :)
