The tutorial committee worked this afternoon winnowing the tutorial proposals from 49 down to 32 class slots. One of the proposals, "Teaching Mathematics using Python" (Kirby Urner/Steve Holden) is formatted with Steve asking Kirby questions (with the audience helping) about how to use Python the teach mathematics. We thought that most people that would want to see this -- middle and high school teachers as well as University professors -- would be unable to attend during the day. We were wondering if, with Steve and Kirby's permission, of course -- we could offer this as an evening session. If we were to do this, it would not have to be done on a tutorial day, either (but I'm getting ahead of myself). Do any of you have thoughts on this? If we were to offer it in the evening, how could we get the word out to area schools/universities? Would a Thursday/Friday be better than a Tuesday or Wednesday? Other than that, the decision process is going well. We have a few questions for some of the presenters which should go out tonight. We should be able to announce the lineup on schedule in early December. --greg _______________________________________________ PyCon-organizers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-organizers -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
