[CoLoCo] Certification Study Group

[David L. Willson]

My worst day is Tuesday.  What are your two best evenings or weekend days?  I'd like to meet for 3.5 hours, every week if that's do-able, or every two weeks, if it's not.  We'll need 10 3.5-hour study meetings to match one normal week-long classroom class.

I like the first book - LPIC-1 Linux Professional Institute Certification. I might be able to get it for free through a professor on campus here (he has a deal with most book publishers). 

What day/time are we thinking here? The location sounds good, but my schedule is... busy... to say the least. :-)

Does downtown Denver (999 18th Street, 80202) work for everyone that wants to study with this group and get certified? I have classrooms, networks, and computers there, and a lot of flexibility on how I use them. David Overcash? Anyone else? 

If not, we can use a classroom, or we can meet anywhere with table-space as long as we all have big machines we're willing to bring with us. 

Any thoughts on the books, or should I just pick one? 

Here are two LPI books we could choose from:

I did not see that you were offering to teach the study group. I would 
be interested in that. And I would be willing to travel for it too. 
Please let us know when you would like to start the training and I am 
sure that will be there.
