I'm definitely interested in helping out. Both as a support person for 
GRASS GIS and helping in preparing education material. I'd also be willing 
to give actual courses, and lectures about GRASS GIS, and why not other 
products too, but I need to learn a bit more (I'm familiar with PostGIS).

On the same note I've been thinking about asking the local universities 
who teach GIS mainly by using ESRI products (and frankly they have a bit 
of a problem doing it, since they can only have so and so many computers 
etc...) if they would be interested in learning how to do it with Open 
Source software. The individual teachers seem to be interested, but I'd be 
interested in a policy level answer. I think that ans OSGeo provided 
support network would help with this also.
