So rather than help my competition by furnishing any amount of free source code, instructional videos and so on (what I've been doing), I'm now more inclined to give special advantages to inhouse gnu math teachers who share my ideological leanings.
As a high school math / CS teacher actively teaching the "hacker ethic" via Python and free software, it is sad to consider that you would not contribute new work to the community.
Where's this coming from? I've been the most prolific contributor to CP4E of just about anyone I know?
I haven't been able to locate the Oregon Curriculum Network online.
http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/ If you follow any of a great number of my links over the years (I date back to the very beginning of this edu-sig list almost), you'd have found me by now.
Have you considered starting a group on a site like Curriki (curriki.org) or OERCommons (oercommons.org) to pool resources with other Pythonic math teachers?

Hey, I'm *very* well connected and paid to teach Gnu Math, don't need any more commitments beyond the current ones. Kids love my stuff and the job prospects increase with each hour in my classroom. Portland Public Schools pays attention to my work. We're changing the face of math teaching in the Silicon Forest, you can bet on it. All I'm saying is I'd rather work locally with fellow geeks on putting calculators-based math out of business. That means not bending over backwards to share absolutely every key to my success, even as my competition and/or oppositions sneaks around, trying to frustrate our progress. I have my priorities, just like any geek. Yar! Kirby
