[NTLUG:Discuss] I'd like to ask the hive mind.....

[Brian Koontz]

Robert--

Richland no longer offers Unix.  North Lake College has been offering
LAMP courses since the beginning of the year, and we are currently the
*only* community college in the state offering LAMP.  We've recently
been approved to offer an Open Source Technology certificate (which
will incorporate LAMP) starting this Spring.  I probably need to make
it out to one of the NTLUG meetings at some point and talk about all
the good OS stuff that's going on at North Lake.

In response to Clay's query:  We looked at offering the Red Hat
curriculum, but it was very expensive, which means we would have had
to recover these costs from students through higher tuition.  This
wasn't acceptable to us, and Red Hat wasn't really interested in
negotiating, so we decided against the RH curriculum

Anybody who is interested in the LAMP courses we offer, or about the
upcoming Principles of Open Source being offered in the Spring, feel
free to drop me an e-mail or call me at 972.273.3461.  I'd be happy to
answer questions.
