I was once at a USENIX conference in Anahein, California, where Sam
Leffler gave a two days teaching about sockets etc., very useful such
trainings, but expensive too; and far away to reach an audience big
enough as we would need to get more volunteers on board, I think

Kirk often teaches 1-day or 2-day courses at BSD conferences at a very
reasonable price, especially for people working or wanting to work as
volunteers for FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

Your next opportunity is the EuroBSDcon 2012 conference in Warsaw,
Poland where Kirk teaches on friday October 19, 2012:

Agreed, if the goal is commercial. But I do not know if this price
invites are people who want to start digging into the FreeBSD kernel to
take over volunteer work there and help FreeBSD growing.

Training and education generally are.


It's still very expensive. $100 I can understand, but $1000 for individuals?

Take a look at the courses available on coursera.org, all for free.
Take a look at the prices for video/audio courses on
thegreatcourses.com. Combined with the fact that these videos were
recorded from lectures given to an in-person audience, rather than
produced specifically for home viewing, IMHO the price is quite
unreasonable.


there are no unreasonable price as long as there are buyers :)

These videos are the equivalent of learning about the Constitution
from its framers.   While some Coursera courses can say the same, they
appear to be relatively few.

This is also probably a significant portion of Kirk's income.  Unlike
the universities represented in Coursera, he has no regular day job
that I'm aware of.  He has no university infrastructure and funding
model that is already paying him to create these courses (and just
capturing them on the side for online use).

Finally, he offers discounts:

"Please note that I offer a 25% discount to people that can make a
plausible hardship case and a 50% discount to full-time students.
Please contact me at mckus...@mckusick.com to verify that you qualify
and to get instructions on how to order at the discounted price."

I think that this all adds up to the pricing being quite fair.
