This was our first time to have our own booth at OSCON. A common query was how to sign up as a mentor, and that's precisely a topic for a company headquarters meeting my supers will be at next week (I'm staying here in Portland, but Patrick is going). I'm hoping we can break it down into temporary contracts attractive to people already doing a lot in their lives, a way to stay in practice exercising inter-personal, not just techie skills. But then I don't want to bore edu-sig with a lot of company business, just wanting to leave a clear record for the ages in a prominent community archive. I'll end with a link to my OSCON photo album from this year (my records cover other OSCONs going back but not to the beginning, when it was the Perl Conference. I was still doing dBase back then. :-D https://www.flickr.com/photos/kirbyurner/sets/72157645488715488/ Sigh. I missed the Python User Group meeting in Portland this week, even though I'm on the organizing committee. We average about 40 per meetup and have a really good meeting space (spacious) with lots of options nearby for socializing more afterwards. Look me up when you're through Portland. I like meeting with other edu-siggers. Kirby
