Perhaps, but I need the support myself & these need to be many & in person & you seem to be talking about forums which is way too difficult for this purpose & adds another barrier for entry.
I am not looking to organize this. Happy to inspire & inform of its need. I am happy to provide graphics for a well thought out crowdsource tested & developed program you techies can figure out together. But I won’t waste my time looking for motivated serious people to do something.

You may want to follow @vkc too.
Sounds a good plan to me, This is what LUGs used to do, but LUGs are seen as not needed as everything is now apparently easier to use.
I find it easy but looking on the Mint support channel on Matrix people still need help.
LUGs = Linux User Groups, as I don't want to assume people just know what that means.
@zleap I am talking about absolute novices, seniors, non tech people, etc. they need to transition off it. They need help without any jargon. With basics. To make it work for them. User groups ain’t it. They aren’t users yet.
Sure, but surely this is where you will find some of the people with the skills needed.
Maybe lugs will spring back to life once we get over the idea they are no longer needed.

From what you are saying here, there IS a need for in person sessions,
I feel that is the case too, just not sure how to convince others local to me about that.
conversation started, which is a good first step.
So out of interest, where are you based, ? as we need in person events
I am in
@zleap I’m in Toronto. I think they’d be open to proposals from local people.
I think many libraries would be.
I repeat…I will not be organizing this. I am not qualified. I do not speak the language. I suggest you gather people globally to create a shared curriculum anyone can deliver. Test it on people who know nothing, like me, test it on other experts in accessibility, in tech. Crowdsource the editing & refine it. Figure out the graphics you need for everyone, Then contact me.
