Many of those into basic Office courses are home users getting into PC's, not
corporate staff. So get them to use it at home. Spread the word via users & a
community of users rather than the corporate world. That is the traditional
strength of OS software, so build on that. Corporate credibility will follow or
can be targetted separately.

I also feel OS home user training/support is very much in line with the
installfest. If Wellylug as a group is not going to organise it, anyone
interested should be encouraged. If it is successful enough to generate some
income, good luck to you!!

I don't think this is even a relevant question. If a question is necessary,
try:
Are any Wellylug members into advocacy or getting paid to tutor?

(As my job includes training others in the use of OS tools, you could say I
already am paid to tutor :-)
