[ubuntu-za] linux opportunities/training

[Schalk Neethling]

Hi all,

I run http://ossreleasefeed.com and related blog network. We could 
definitely add a resource such as this to this network. I missed some of 
the discussion so I will go through the archive to see exactly what is 
required.

Please let me know if anyone has some specific ideas, wish to help out etc.

Kind Regards,
Schalk Neethling
