Dear all,
I'm sad that we only have 2 students registered for what is actually quite =
a good class. (I confess to some bias.) Please help me fill the other 10 se=
ats? Here are some ideas: Come to the class. Invite your 3 favorite geek fr=
iends. Announce the class on Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, Diaspora, CLUE, =
BLUG, and/or somewhere else.
And discounts:
=E2=80=A2 You get a $25 discount on this class if you wear a Linux Camp=
T-shirt. Larry!
=E2=80=A2 You get a $25 discount for every student you bring with you. =
=E2=80=A2 And finally, if you register by COB tomorrow, you get a $10 d=
iscount.
The minimum price of the class is 0, PWYW is always an option, and I am con=
tinually grateful for your contributions of time, talent, and treasure.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
