[CoLoCo] kids and foss - a face-to-face encounter

[Jim Hutchinson]

Okay, maybe that's overselling it, but at the next NCLUG meeting on April 8,
my daughter will be presenting her random number project and findings. While
this is not a purely foss project, it is an example of kids using foss to do
"normal" things (precisely what some detractors of foss say you can't do).
Although it will be a short presentation, I encourage anyone interested to
plan to attend. For meeting times and location see http://www.nclug.org/.

In case you didn't follow early discussions, my daughter did her 6th grade
science fair project on a comparison of RNGs and pRNGs using dice and
simulated dice rolls with Ruby and Python scrips. CoLoCo members helped with
the scripts and I have encouraged her to be a "real" scientist and share her
findings with the larger community - in this case Linux geeks seemed the
best option.

Hope to see you there.
