[SFS] Re: [clue] Geek Retreat: Linux Camp

[David L. Willson]

Just to keep this on the radar: I've been working on it. The current plan is to cover LPI-101 and 102 in four long days and do the exams right there on-site. I'm thinking no more than 10 students this time, and I'm trying to get the cost down to around $1500 each.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
