programming courses?

There are thousands of open source projects on Sourceforge.net that would 
welcome volunteers.

I'm personally involved with 2 of those who would gladly help beginners get 
up to speed.

I think a volunteer co-op or apprenticeship program is a great idea too.

It is an unfortunate statement of our times when so much of our experienced 
programmer skill base is unemployed or underemployed.     We are in great 
danger of losing those skills forever unless we can find ways to transfer 
them to the younger generation and then find ways for that generation to 
become productively employed in situations where they can continue to hone 
and develop those skills.
