Looking for reseller (Tutorial DVD)

We have developed an application called Motiva SOAP that is a free realtime postproduction tool witch allows not only change colours of the entities but their influence in the whole scene.
Probably the best way to understand what's Motiva SOAP is look at this video.

Why we do this app for free?
Motiva SOAP was designed with educational purposes, our intention is sell a full tutorial of how it’s made this app step by step, line byline. Covering topics as ‘why is so important the linear conversions?’, ‘the maths behindthe colors’, ‘what’s the way you must focus a realtime app’ , basic shader development... The main objetive is not learn to write SOAP again but learn a different way of thinking in CG.It will be provided in two languages: spanish (my native language) and english.
The TOC of the tutorial will be something like this:
INTRODUCTION
· Presentation and Motiva SOAP overview
· What's intended to make?
· What will we learn?
PREVIOUS CONCEPTS
· How the colour is represented?
· Basic operations using colors
· What is and why is needed the 'linear workflow'
· Render channels and basic composition
PLANIFICATION STAGE
· Needed shaders (theorical)
· Needed controls (theorical)
· Prototyping
DEVELOPMENT STAGE
· Introduction to fx shaders
· Making the base shaders
· Creating our app using OGRE and QT
· Upgrading the app to support multiple objects
· Making more shaders to support multiple objects
All the prototypes will be made using Blender node editor.
All the scenes, all the prototypes and the stages of the development will be included on the DVD (compiled version and source code)
In some points like How the colour is represented? will be developed a inproof explanation about how the colour could be represented: RGB, RGBA, integer [0-255], floating point (and what's a floating point number), what are the advantages and disadvantages of each one for 3D artist, so I really thing that there will be lot of points concering some technical concepts that can be useful to understand in a better way the internal process of rendering and so.
Someone has any idea about who might be interested in publish it?
Thanks in advance, Víctor.
