That would be useful I think. Though, we need to decide what kind of
packaging we would like to teach people. There are many different
languages / ecosystems, so everywhere it is different.
I was just thinking different packagers could do
videos/workshops/classrooms on different types of packages. Someone
could do a simple on on C/C++ packages, someone else on Python, someone
on Rust and so on. That way, we may be able to attract folks that are
interested in or that use these languages.
