Going to conferences is one good way to delve more deeply into code, eg http://www.linux.org.au/conf/2007/talk/107.html http://www.linux.org.au/conf/2006/abstract0906.html?id=459 http://www.linux.org.au/conf/2006/abstractd919.html?id=342 http://www.linux.org.au/conf/2006/abstract8204.html?id=382 The real problem with in depth courses is that there generally aren't that many people interested in any particular area, so rather than hundreds of people each year signing up to an introductory university course in any given city, you're down to a few dozen people every few years across an entire country, and you also have more problems finding people to teach the course who understand the details, can teach well, and aren't busy actually doing development.
