Przemek (from DCLUG) and I are putting some material together for an
offline lecture series, which I'll dub the Jessup Project.  For those
not local to the area, and/or not recalling an earlier request on the
mailing list, Jessup is a town a little north of College Park with a
Correctional Institution. The inmates have access to a large variety  of
educational and electronic material, but for practical reasons they are 
all offline. No internet access allowed.  We met with a small group that
is keen on using Linux to facilitate their education, and they have put
together a nice program.

One of the things I am doing it putting some youtube videos on a DVD
for them to use in these lectures. In my case photography and Gimp.

We are also looking for people who can come into the facility and teach
(much like the umlug meetings) a lecture on topics yet to be determined.
During one of our last meeting we actually recorded a lecture, so that's
another way to do it,but I think if any of the UMLUG group is interested
in volunteering an hour, get in touch me with.
