A few thoughts on SLUG and Linux Training
Judging from the diverse interest of this group,
the diverse locations in which participations in a like minded would
physically come from,
and the diverse hours that each participate would be available
it may be better to conduct such training on line in a news format.
This would allow several major advantages.
1. People could participate when the has the time.
2. No physical space would be required and no travel would be required.
3. Training could be done on this form with out undue increase in traffic
volume or a separate web site strictly devoted to training could be
initiated.
4. If an online training program were to be organized then it would almost
have to be a monitored and directed site. That being said several training
sessions could go on simultaneously on a full or part time bases on the same
news site.
5. Other linux groups could be notified and ask to participate.
6. The format could be open form like this list or closed format where only
the guru (Aka trainer) would be allowed to post.
7. Training could go on a number of technical levels simultaneously - from
beginner to advanced.
8. A web site could be maintained with the training classes for years without
active addition participation after the completion of the initial session.
If linux on line training were undertaken one method of doing this would be to
have one person as director of training whose sole job would be to arrange
for tutors (Aka Trainers). Since coordination is a full time part time job
others could be responsible for the actual training.
