The fine folks who are organizing PyCon this year are setting the registration fee for students at $50.00. If you know of any students in the DC metropolitan area (or beyond) who would be interested in attending the conference, please spread the word. I still have a ZWiki set up at: http://linus.yorktown.arlington.k12.va.us/PyCon2004/EduTrack/ in the hopes that anyone who plans to attend PyCon who is interested in a Python in Education Track will add there name to the IllBeThere page and anyone interested in sharing what they are doing with Python in education would add there presentation idea to the PresentationProposals page. We would like to use this conference to reach out to folks who may be newer to Python and who are interested in finding more about what it has to offer. While we have a bit of a chicken and egg problem, if we get a sense that folks newer to Python will be attending, then I've committed my students to putting together a few presentations that would be of interest. Thus far there hasn't been enough of a response to be able to get a sense of where the interest lies. Hopefully, that will all change in the near future ;-) Jeffrey Elkner <jeff@elkner.net> Open Book Project <http://ibiblio.org/obp>

As per an exchange by Thomas Kalka (on behalf of Alice) and A.M. Kuchling, who maintains python.org/community/projects.html, Alice is now an all new Java program.[1] Following Kuchling's example, I've removed the link to Alice from the edu-sig page. Kirby [1] Nov 27,28 of 2003 (pydotorg archive)
