Fwd: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list
by Andre Roberge May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

I hope this is the right mailing list... I can no longer maintain the edu-sig page; could someone take care of this please? (and also remove my name at the bottom of the page) André ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joanne Daudier <joanne(a)learnstreet.com> Date: Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 3:27 AM Subject: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list To: andre.roberge(a)gmail.com Hi Andre: My name is Joanne Daudier, and I'm with LearnStreet, an online platform for computer programming education. We are creating a new tool <http://www.learnstreet.com/teacher> to help computer science teachers teach Python with ease . The tool includes a teacher dashboard, an autograder, practice exercises, projects, and lessons on programming languages and computer science topics. We believe that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code, so we've created these free resources for educators around the world. *Could you help us with our mission by adding LearnStreet's teacher pilot program to the edu-sig list?* Thank you!

Hi Web Folks, The PSF Trademarks Committee has set a policy to start including blurbs for authorized merchants who use our trademark. FWIW, part of this agreement is for them to make donations if their sales exceed $1000 on said merchandise. Please add Python Gear to http://www.python.org/community/merchandise/ including the blurb Austin provides and his logo attached here.
