Oh, this is finally realised is it? We were continually being
challenged over the nominal fees we charged.

instead of going off half cocked.

There hasn't been anyone arguing against LUG's providing
training. I've been making the point that if LUGs provide good
training, then they should charge good fees.
There is nothing to stop LUG's providing commercial training.
There is nothing to stop LUG's providing a whole gamit of
training from basic, simple, friendly, like the install/config
fests, to more organissed, like the AppsFest (programming,
security, video, sound ???, to more formal courses equivalent to
RH, TL, SUSE, etc certification.
