Thanks Alaa and Diaa for your replies. Following your thoughts and our previous discussion at the Sakkia:

1. We will have the largest possible number of trainees at the start, encomprising different IT skills level as sometimes a novice can become interested and turn out to be more into learning than someone with more advanced skills, Alaa you mentioned this in our discussion. So we give the trainers the opportunity to see first hand who is promising.
2. That means we will have a general hands on training in basic computer skills and then gradually push the envelope as far as the group can take.
3. At one point then the trainer(s) have to split up the group into sub-groups that can be trained on different skill levels.
4. the training overall should comprise the basic skills up to GNU/Linux, with troubleshooting and recycled computer reconditioning.
5. The final goal is to have a fully functioning FOSS group in Menia that then can "spread the light" in other areas of the Sa'id. For the other, less advanced, groups the goal is to let them use a FOSS for personal and business reasons. We should encourage interested students to get more involved so that they might want to go on to a university education in IT.
6. Training is primarily geard towards hands-on practical skills (definitely scenarios/applic. solutions, etc.) peppered with theoretical parts to round it up. Again different groups will be exposed to differen levels of knowledge.
