Greetings Chicago UG, signing in as a lurker, though might be lured
into chit chat.
I'm active with Portland's PPUG (formerly PORPIG) and have designs to
present at Pycon in March in the city of my birth (mom & dad at
University of).
My 'Python for Teachers' is about what we're doing in Portland to make
computer languages more prevalent within K-16, not just as a topic for
computer science but for the liberal arts more generally (more like
R0ml).
My co-teacher is Steve Holden of PSF notoriety, plus I might have
Patrick Barton of Synovate.com as a TA (he was there last year, when I
delivered Part 1 **).
Anyway, just wanted to drop in virtually and say hi, maybe I'll be
lucky enough to meet some of you in person in a few weeks.
Kirby

hrs remember)
