I remarked to James that maybe along the lines of the "Linux in 
Education" idea for a talk that it might be a good idea to have some 
students present on their experiences with linux at a future NCLUG 
meeting.  I think this is a great idea.

By the way, my little brother is 12, enamored with video games (as I was 
when I was younger), and he's determined to be the guy who designs video 
games when he gets older.   I introduced him to python, and he started 
getting it, and then panned out.  I went out and bought a ShowMeDo 
subscription (http://www.showmedo.com) for him ($60/yr).  It has 
interactive tutorials on all sorts of activities, many of which are 
python based.  He took off with them.  Might be a good idea for your 
daughter as well.

We look forward to hearing from her!
