And this is definitely something we'll go over whenever we
schedule the RPM 101 (including spec files) course that I've
volunteered to teach.  :-)

So, Lisa, the last I heard was that we were thinking about doing
classes monthly but weren't sure if doing it in December would be
a good idea.  Perhaps we should firm that up a bit?  (Sorry for
not mentioning this to you privately, but I didn't expect this
opening to materialize today...)

Just out of curiosity, if we were to teach a RPM Packaging class
(that is, how to build your own rpms) how many people would come
and when would be better (December or January)?

Cheers, 
Tanner
