Andy,

As I recall, there weren't many education directed talk proposals this 
year (in fact, I don't recall seeing any).

I hope that the advent of poster sessions <PLUG> (see 
http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/posters/) will add some opportunity 
for educational content. I would strongly encourage (beg, wheedle, 
plead, etc) the readers of this list to present a poster on an education 
topic, or a virtual poster, if you can't make it to Atlanta. We also are 
hoping for virtual posters from students, so encourage any bright 
(and/or video minded) students to come up with something. </PLUG> 

The idea of a PyWhip mini-sprint is kinda attractive, if we can find a 
time to do it, since I can't stay for the sprints this year either.

Cheers,
Vern
