Update Aug 9:<br>
<br>
Here's a link to the article I ended up publishing, not through<br>
CERM as it turns out (Greg thought it maybe too specialized<br>
to a specific readership) but in a more "find its own way"<br>
environment:<br>

Math Teachers', if curious).<br>

Down at the moment, Greg expects it up and running in 24 hours.<br>

The code school featured by Greg's daughter Margaux for<br>
WorkingIT.com held it's Monday Night Flying Circus again<br>

I like that we're eclectic, devoting whole evenings to JavaScript<br>
as much as Python. It's the synergies in this ecosystem that<br>
give us leverage, whereas "Python in a bottle" (no discussion<br>
of context) is too "night in a museum" right?<br>
<br>
Pays to "play well with others" (for real).<br>

If in Portland, swing by...<br>

and also visit Portland Python User Group @ Urban Airship,<br>
interesting building in SW Portland:<br>
