Hi Johan,

An idea I am mulling over, is to set up ( at a school ) Saturday morning "classes" to teach the students from different schools F\LOSS.  I work during the week, and I don't think night classes will be an option.

Find a school that is prepared to allow you the use of a classroom.

Get a company ( companies ) to donate computer equipment and furniture for this.

The school can also use the lab during the week, but they need to be told that over the weekend the computers might be reformated. or get extra Hard Drives that are used for Saturdays

Once this is se tup, you can start inviting school pupils and teachers.

Some teachers wont want to do this with the students, so have the teachers Saturday on the 1st Saturday of the month, this can be decided when talking to the teachers.

This way you can start teaching the pupils and teachers, and when some of them are at the right skill level, ask them to help with the Saturday teaching.
