Linux/Open Source Training in Boston



What is the proper forum for posting about a Linux/Open Source Training 
Facility I have opened in the Boston/Somerville Massachusetts area?

I only ask this because I am curious about giving discounts to open-source 
developers, so that I can pay back (in a small way) how open-source software 
has helped me and my business. I am close to a few groups that I am a member 
of, like the Debian group....

http://www.standardcode.com
is the site. It's legit without any pop-ups selling Viagra or spam triggers. 
We have nothing to sell but knowledge.

I don't want to step on anyone's toes or enrage anti-business forces, so if 
there is a general consensus on where I should give the invites, make the 
offer, do donations (I have spare hardware as well) etc. I would really like 
to know about it.

I run Debian on my servers at the office, and I have 2 classes coming up near 
the end of this month: "Linux Admin" (in a vendor-neutral way) and "Running 
your own Mail Server", so I feel like time is of the essence in making this 
offer. After that is Photoshop (using Crossover Office emulation) and Python. 
These classes will run every month, as well as many others and nothing would 
make me happier than giving a break to people who need it (we already do 
discounted inner-city programs) and help evangelize open-source at the same 
time. This offer will be for the forseeable future, and doesn't have an 
pre-set expiration date.

I really would like to get students involved, and give something back to the 
people I respect and (I feel) owe a debt to.

Please, if this question has been asked before, let me know what the answer 
was, and any site with "best practices", etc.

Thank you,
Brendan
