Re: [opensuse-ambassadors] Teaching Night Course
Dear Jan-Bart I dont have any slides, all i have are the books that are included with the distrobutions. I don't know how much you are intending to charge for your teaching class, or if indeed your even making any money from it, but if you are interested I can send some stock to you of the retail boxes, retail price of €70, trade price of around €50. If you are teaching complete newbies, then these books are ideal because they cover: Installation Quick Start KDE Quick Start Gnome Quick Start LibreOffice Quick Start As for support each box comes with 90 days telephone technical support from open-slx and of course additional technical support from myself as much as possible. I admit the only person who asked for technical support was asking detailed questions about programing in Fortran which was above me..I refered him to KDevelop, Eclipse, Netbeans or something other IDE related.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
Good point, Daniel.. I will keep that in mind.. I can always bring the repo's for ATI and Nvidia along to the class on a number of DVD's.. They're not so big :-)
Johann, I hope to get a few more people interested in openSUSE and Linux in order to start a LUG around here. They will probably be every day users like myself. At least I hope so since I am no programmer, server guy and would probably not be able to help them. Yes, they can phone me at home between 5 and 9 if they run into problems.
I will be keeping it short since there will only be so much talking I can do. I will be showing people how to install, set-up partitions, dual boot with Windows, explain the different desktops, to set-up restricted formats, email, multimedia, burn cd's, edit audio and video, Skype, etc... everything the average computer user may need.
Stuart, do you, or indeed anyone, have any slides for the above subjects?

Hi There,
Try to get desktop instead of notebook or laptop with graphics card such as ATI or NVidia. Reason why, sometimes when a certain card is not supported, you need to help them to work around. That will cause you to stop and out of schedule and focusing on the graphic install instead.

I have done training / workshops on SUSE. There is a couple of things you have to think about,
What do you want to achieve?
Who is the audience technical or user?
When they run into problems when installing at home can they phone you?
When you talking to techies you must start slow show a lot of yast etc then later go command line etc.
When you deal with users have everything setup Printers, movie players etc that you can compare how easy SUSE is to use that MS
Keep the session short max two hours.

Hello all,
I may have the opportunity to teach Linux/openSUSE at a local school as a night course. It would be 6 - 8 weeks long and a total of 12 - 16 hours. I was wondering if anyone else out there has done the same and would have a bit of a lesson plan? I have never done this before and am a bit lost at where to start with this.

Those are part of the public openSUSE repository and are also online at docs.opensuse.org. Stuart, which of these are printed in the retail box?
