[lugm.org] Linux Training

[Ish Sookun]

Hi Avinash,

That's kinda what I initially thought, maybe not really with precise
details regarding number of characters. However, I believe Jochen got
a point.

Some having more details than others could send out the wrong message,
as if we're endorsing the companies.

Maybe we shouldn't mix up corporate memberships with this page. The
page will be just for the sake of "guiding" new folks. Corporate
members will always have their dedicated corner in "Friends of LUGM".
I kinda like the idea of having an alphabetically ordered list. No
preference is given. We'll populate the list with companies we know
already & others can always contact us to be listed. Just suggesting.

Cheers!
