Hello!

imiho, we need to make some initial scoping on audience.  do we want to
target tweens and early teens with programming and computer concepts?
or so we want to target older students who have grown up with laptops,
the internet, and teach networking and services?  or ...

my personal take is that there are a bunch of folk focused on serving
the younger set and making the next generation of programmers and UI
designers.  and that is not really our main bailiwick.  we should focus
on network and services engineering.  but i am biased.

I agree. If we put our energy in this (and this is energy and time consuming) we should teach something very specific to our community. Many things are already there, we don't need to replicate them in a slightly worse way ;)

What is currently on my table, are two courses, one is a 3-4 days hands-on course for networking beginners like "how to become a small network admin" (wifi AP setup included) and another one, "how to setup your own AS", for like 2-3 days. These are kinda getting some shape.

The thing is, and sorry if this comes out too rude … preparing a good course is _very_ time-consuming, so i'm now aiming solely to commercial teaching to get the time paid. However, I'm open to collaborations, and if there could be some funding to do these courses for free or for an affordable amount, I'll very happily accept it.
