I have a great relationship with Purdue Universitys computer science
department (my alma mater).  i had talked with the head of the computer
science department about an open source class and the idea of having
students work on projects for credit.  If you have training materials
created, we could approach the head and if he can bring in a
professor/instructor of the class it is a possibility to make something
happen.
