[ale] ALE Workshops on ...

[DJ-Pfulio]

Seems we need a place and time and whoever wants to present/organize
this should work together on an outline that feeds from 1 topic into the
next.

A consistent presentation style would be useful too.

Of course, if there aren't at least 10 people who'd like to learn this,
would it be worth the effort?  Should we target how-to videos so more
people can learn over the next 2 years?

I'm willing to draw some network diagrams, if that helps describe
things. For example: http://blog.jdpfu.com/images/KVM-howto-opt.jpg
