[Gloucs] local linux evening courses [gloscat spam]

[Guy Edwards]

Hi,

Anyone who remembers the post at the end of this one, this is just an
update.

Basically, because of the funding criteria the Linux course has been
placed under, there has to be a minimum of 18 students on the course
before it will start. It's hard enough getting 18 people to attend a
GLUG meeting, so finding 18 beginners is difficult.=20

Currently they've got about 12 people signed up and they're waiting to
get more.=20

If you think you're a Linux beginner and want to attend some lessons to
learn more/faster then the course is still going to run and it's being
headed by a professional, easy to understand lecturer with a long
background in UNIX/Linux. e.g. sign up.

This is kind of spam because I work there, but personally I'd really
like to see a Linux course running in Gloucester, where ever it's at, so
that's why I want it to work (no I don't get any commission). Details
are below in the previous post.=20
