Okay that would be fantastic. We might just need a 15-20 minute period
before class starts just to make sure everything runs smoothly. Or maybe
push the workshop time to be 3.5 hours to allow for some software issue
resolution time up-front.

Okay cool.

I don't know about kdenlive because I haven't had much luck using it in
the past; Scribus tends to be crashy (and at least for me, totally
broken in F15) so I'm not sure it would be a good candidate for a
first-timer experience. (What do you think about kdenlive for
first-timers specifically, Klaatu?)

I think kdenlive would be a good candidate for helping folks become
contributors; one thing I think we desperately need are Fedora-specific
video reviews and tutorials. Having a way of editing and cutting video /
screencasts to post them online would be a huge help there. In fact, as
part of the course we could maybe run the video editing section at the
end, and have the students produce a screencast of what they learned in
Inkscape or Gimp and post it online at the end of class.
Sounds awesome, but I'd recommend pitivi instead of kdenlive, it's easier to use...
but It won't start on my f16 machine right now. If the bug will be fixed, I can make a class about it (if you want).
