I'm still sorting out times but have made tentitive bookings for Thursdays (his prefered day). I'm also going to put in a call to Riccarton High to see if they want to take part. Take part in what? There is a limited time, and a lot of effort required to make all this happen. Is there a plan? I'm not saying there should be a detailed, timetabled activity list, but there should be a list of things that are good (if not essential) to cover, to make best use of the time. Ideally this is accompanied by a list of things the kids already know, so that time is not wasted going over them again. Just my $0.02, A 1.  Bring hardware. 2. Get Linux installed 3.  Install applications 4.  Install dev stuff 5.  This is php, etc 6.  Make something go :) Would you like to venture a more detailed plan?
