FOSS Tutorials
Worcester farm group is interested in having some FOSS tutorials. Perhaps:
- how to do basic labels in GIMP,
 - work through a few sample spreadsheets related to seed cost and
 - similarly applicable real-world situations, depending on the needs of the group
 
Basically how to do graph design & product management with open source tools. Malt will put together a one paragraph description of what we need and we can mail it out to ask pirates to help.
