Some of you may remember my post http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2007-February/007771.html about the OLPC talk at Pycon. I seem to remember at the time that some people on this list expressed their desire to see this talk. A very similar talk is now available here: http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-4285568518538296189&q=olpc+google+tech @Ivan K: if you are reading this message: great job!!! André ========== P.S. In my February post, I mentioned ** One open issue (as I understand it) is that of finding the "best practice" for plugins. The idea is that the core programs should be as small as possible but easy to extend via plugins.** Following this, and an email discussion with Johannes Woolard, I am glad to be able to say that "We" (read "Johannes") have now redesigned Crunchy so that it uses a plugin architecture, making it much easier to add new capabilities. A new release with this new architecture (and exciting new capabilities) should be available by the end of the month.

Thanks. I should point out that the Google talk is rather more technical than the PyCon talk, cuts the educational part somewhat short, and doesn't spend as much time on Python itself. Cheers, -- Ivan Krstić <krstic@solarsail.hcs.harvard.edu> | GPG: 0x147C722D
