Hi david
Yes this is our idea. As I said esug is ready to help. We know that North america is way larger than Europe
but we should give a try. If you have ideas about actions we did not think because we do not know your education
system let's know. ESUG is a practical oriented association. :)
We will set up an infrastructure to share resources (archive, videos, books, slides).
I published part of my slides in creative commons in powerpoint at:
http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Resources.html (if you need them in keynote let me know.)
Esug has also a sponsoring for students visiting labs and article in the press.
If you want to organize special lecture seminars. We can push that too.
if you have textbook and you want to turn that in booklet, book we can help too.
We contacted a squeaker to tun his test driven development html online only book into a pdf like squeak by example
and get a print on demand version without losing anything but no reaction after tried already 3 times. so we will stop :)
Our message is the following one: organize a bit yourselves and we will help. We are doing that
with spain, germany, russia so we should succeed in N.America :)

our motto: helping people that want to do something. :)
