FLOSS = Free Linux Open Source Software?  Hadn't heard that, clever.

I like the stuff on primes in SAGE.

Does SAGE let us do generators?  No doubt.

Very enterprising and good for showing off software designed to power
charitable giving,
something I think about a lot vis-a-vis my "Coffee Shops Network" (featuring
games that
let you be a hero, winning funds for worthy charities  -- your donor profile
may become a
walking-your-talk credential of sorts).
