+
+## Goals
+
+The overarching goal of this project is to provide a free, open source Systems Automation course
+predicated on the work produced by Scott Champine, an experienced and skilled Senior Systems Engineer.
+
+Scott has over 20+ years administering and engineering Linux systems across a broad variety of
+fields and teams. He has built and maintains systems like High Performance Compute (HPC) clusters
+for [NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)](https://www.noaa.gov/) and more.
+
+ProLUG looks forward to working with contributors who want to give back to the community and produce
+skilled Systems Administrators and Systems enthusiasts.
+
+## Objectives
+
+Contributors will be tasked with developing templated course material provided by Scott Champine.
+Outlined below are a set of objectives this repository attempts to provide.
+
+- Provide a centralized set of worksheets and labs for prospective learners to begin understanding Automation Engineering.
+- Deliver templated versions of course work per unit along with supplementary material and video.
+- Provide learners with foundational knowledge in computer systems to include:
+  TBD
+
+## To Begin Contributing
+
+ProLUG asks all contributors to understand and adhere to the principles and guidelines detailed
