We have also sent out invitation to Dr. Ajith Kumar, Scientist(H) at IUAC ( http://www.iuac.res.in/) which he accepted. For the past several years he has been involved in promoting Free Software tools in Education and leading a project for developing open hardware laboratory equipment for teaching science, that uses Python for data analysis and visualization. Has been pursuing academic community to include Python in their syllabus and has written a book on Python. Some of the details are on the website expeyes.in Here is our agenda in brief. It's a 2 Day workshop. Day 1 - Common to people from all Schools & Departments. Getting Started with Python. We are looking for resource person for Day 1 (the reason for writing this mail). Day 2 - Two Parallel Sessions 1. Python for Physicists, Mathematicians, & Scientists (Dr. Ajith Kumar) 2. Advance Python for Computer based Streams, Multimedia, etc., (We also need speaker for this). We couldn't confirm the date yet. But we are trying our best to organize this within 2 weeks.
