may be interested to know that there is a new learning
concept taking hold, in a very unusual context. Libraries
around the world are getting involved in "leaning circles",
in which a group of learners work together with each other,
online training, library-supplied facilitation staff and
sporadic involvement by subject experts.</div>

concept is going global, and different libraries are leading
the way in different fields. As it turns out, the global
leader in Linux learning circles is right here at the
Toronto Public Library. Toronto and Nairobi are the first in
the world to be welcoming "new to Linux" attendees who run
the range from absolute newcomers to people looking to
change careers or others who are in IT in other realms and
want to learn Linux.</div>

initial run of four-week "Linux Unhatched" circles is just
now concluding. I audited them at three of the six different
branches (Keele&Wilson, University@College,
Yonge@Eglinton) at which they were held. Response has been
great. At the sessions I attended I talked up GTALUG as a
way for participants to keep their interest after the
sessions are over and maybe we'll get some new participants
as a result.</div>
