David Do you want me to forward that mail to esug? BTW do you know that all my lectures are in creative commons as well as the ones of oscar nierstrasz. http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Tmp/PowerPoint/ I'm thinking that he could find somebody to help you even orthogonally to this position. for example if you succeed to some lectures over a week we could send an experienced teacher (like me for example) and we could ask ESUG to support some of the cost.
