It is brilliant and is a must for any serious enthusiast. But the steep curve of LFS is not worth for any casual user or traditional programmer. For the people who are interested, do not miss this opportunity. What makes this really exciting: - Compile every single package from source. - Bootstrap glibc and gcc to compile itself to use for compiling other sources! - Setup the linux file system from scratch. - Compile even grub and install it in the MBR. But I am not sure that the entire process can be covered in one session of the meeting and targeting the next session 1 month later might be too long. My suggestion would be to demonstrate and hand hold the initial process of chroot'ing and setup of the environment required. The rest can be left as an exercise and the mailing list is always there to ask questions.
