[Gmod-help] GMOD Course in Europe

Please do post something to BBC saying we are considering offering a
similar course in Europe.  Might want to include a link to the page
describing this year's course
(http://gmod.org/wiki/2008_GMOD_Summer_School).  Also please point out
that there would be some tuition cost to cover instructor travel and
facility costs.  My very rough guess is that tuition would be around
US$300-500.  I am subscribed to the list, so I could post this as
well.  (However, I imagine a post from you would draw more attention.)

I have not yet written to Stephanie, but I will do so later today.

Hmmm.  I'm guessing that GMOD related content could easily use up too
much of the 5 days in a course.  How about suggesting a session on
GBrowse details followed by overviews of other popular GMOD
components?  I dunno.  What sort of content were you thinking about?
I like the idea in principle.

As always, thanks for everything,

Dave C.
