Actually the Python Lab session is intended to attract those at least somewhat new to Python, by trying to show how different skill levels would approach the same problem. If the only people who show up for the lab are experts, it's going to be rather boring. ;-) But those completely new to programming, or who don't feel comfortable tackling problems in a group environment yet may want the newbie talk. So it's probably a good scheduling timeslot, to do it on Fri. We're also looking for a BoF timeslot, probably on Sat, at which Ivan can provide hands-on/upclose access to the One Laptop per Child demo unit he is bringing, and answer questions about the project. He suggested holding it over beer/dinner if not too many people are going, but I expect strong interest in OLPC. I'm wondering if we can do an edu-sig dinner early and then regroup back at the hotel for the demo and other presentations the edu-sig has mentioned may happen. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
