Targetting people who already have some experience sounds like a good idea. It should be easier to find people who are interested, through LUGs, etc. They may even have a ready made venue if you offered to go to their meetings and do training sessions there. Of course that doesn't help in terms of promoting Ubuntu to new people, but it's better to iron out any kinks in the training process with people who already have experience about the product, rather than scaring off newbies if things go wrong :) -- Lesley Harrison -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
