Upcoming classes:

• Introduction to GNU/Linux at BII - Dennis teaches this class.
• GNU/Linux System Administration at BII
• GNU/Linux Security at BII

Lookup GNU/Linux classes coming up in the Maricopa Community College system.

Call the Business and Industry Institute, 480 461 6100, and ask for Jessica in order to register for BII classes. The OpenOffice.org class is available via normal MCC registration.

It's great that MCC is once again offering the OpenOffice.org class and supporting an opportunity for people to learn a Free Software office suite. mvening teaches this inexpensive, online class through MCC's main campus. Due to inter-county agreements the OpenOffice.org class is available for Maricopa county rates in some other Arizona counties as well.

The community colleges teach a lot of GNU/Linux classes. They also have C++, Perl and PHP classes. They have others, but finding them can be difficult.

• Introduction to GNU/Linux
• Introduction to GNU/Linux System Administration
• GNU/Linux Networking Administration
• GNU/Linux Security
• GNU/Linux Shell Scripting

I am also the on LOPSA's education committee. Watch for our classes at SCaLE in February 2009.
