If we put our energy in this (and this is energy and time consuming) we should teach something very specific to our community.

These are kinda getting some shape. The thing is, and sorry if this comes out too rude … preparing a good course is _very_ time-consuming, so i'm now aiming solely to commercial teaching to get the time paid. However, I'm open to collaborations, and if there could be some funding to do these courses for free or for an affordable amount, I'll very happily accept it.
