Well, I'd be happy to get involved in the organization, but I don't
know squat about London (other than the fact that I think Bayswater is
a luverly area to live.  I think I'll move there).

So Dave, what would you need to carry this off?

* How much time for planning?
* How many days for teaching? (can this be done in one or two days)?
* What will students need? (Do we need terminals or can they bring
 laptops?)
* Preferred location for this?  (Does it need to be close to central?)
* Other thoughts?

If anyone with more experience with London is willing to work with me
to chase down venues, I can work on getting financing for this.  Heck,
if you just send me suggestions for hunting venues in London, I could
even do that bit myself.

Any and all other suggestions welcome.

Cheers,
Ovid
