Totally.

The best thing to do is bring it up on the OpenHatch events list.

http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/events is the sign-up link.

The short version is that we'll be ramping up starting in a month
or so. I aim to run an online (P2PU?) version of the course first to
work out kinks in the curriculum and practice exercises, and then do a bit
of a tour (and document precisely how to clone it) in early January or so.
