$1000 is alot.
10 students is alot.
What is the petty cash fund? What do you need?
We have to be really careful dealing with these types of groups. They
have no vested interest in Free Software. And have every interest in
raising the cost of the classes and using the buzzword 'Linux'.
We already have the class space, and can't get the classes filled. We
have a great opportunity at Kings Games, and we should try to make
the most of it. I don't think we have the manpower to hold classes all
over the city right now.
The fact that as far as I know, NONE of the classes starting this week
are anywhere near filled, is quite a damper on the organisation.
