Summary
Here's a pointer to Kirby Urner's blog on the workshop I'm participating in today and tomorrow.

Mark Shuttleworth's goal (for one of the Shuttleworth Foundation's projects) is to spend the next 3 years to develop a 10-year curriculum in programming, to be used in South-African schools, with the goal of improving students' analytical skills. Kirby is blogging in more detail:

About the Blogger

Guido van Rossum is the creator of Python, one of the major programming languages on and off the web. The Python community refers to him as the BDFL (Benevolent Dictator For Life), a title straight from a Monty Python skit. He moved from the Netherlands to the USA in 1995, where he met his wife. Until July 2003 they lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC with their son Orlijn, who was born in 2001. They then moved to Silicon Valley where Guido now works for Google (spending 50% of his time on Python!).
