I work for Adam Smith College (Glenrothes & Fife). I did post in the forums 
that we run Linux courses, but the postings disappeared in the website 
changes. I am supposed to be co-ordinating a project to encourage SME's to 
adopt OSS, however not much is happening at the moment, mainly due to all the 
backstabbing and politics that are still being played out post merger :-)

My remit is more commercial training than academic, but one thing we were 
considering was an install day. 

Once things become more concrete I'll let you all know.

Cheers.
