Still some organizing is needed, but I hope overall the page is easier to read now. The introduction to this other related page was also improved: http://wiki.python.org/moin/**LocalUserGroups Some content of this page was moved to the StartingYourUserGroup page, as it made more sense there. Thanks to Asheesh for providing me feedback and suggestions during the sprints.

They also would like to know if (a) I would be willing to do a follow-up class and/or (b) consider offering the class over the Internet to reach out to other areas in Arkansas. I'm interested in the Internet classes and told them we could start looking into the issues involved. My thoughts are: - It has to be interactive. Could we set up a Google hangout (or something similar)? - I would want a 2nd person involved on my end to take questions, help debug code, and assist. - We would need much more extensive class notes. I would still use the "How To Think Like a Computer Scientist Using Python" book. - I would like to have "guest lecturers" address the class (perhaps via Skype) to give short presentations on various subjects. Jesse Noller indicated he would be interested in talking about "Community" (I hope that offer would still stand, but I'd have to ask), maybe Jeff Rush on Packaging, or even our very own Chad Cooper on GIS and/or PyArkansas. Would anyone else be interested in looking at either an Intermediate Python class? Just saying that I think the interest is there. --greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How did it go - could you give us a brief overview? Some general thoughts/questions: - Google hangouts have a max of ten participants ( http://support.google.com/plus/answer/1216376?hl=en) - Does this pay? Would the 2nd person get paid for their time? - I think the guest lecturers is a good idea (not saying that me being one of them is necessarily that great of an idea though :) ) chad On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Greg Lindstrom wrote: > I just got word that UCA would like me to give the Introduction to > Computer Programming Using Python class again this Fall (community > outreach)!
