Beginning with the Shell
by Peter Chubb
The Bourne shell is universally available on every Linux system, from the least-powerful embedded device, to the largest supercomputer.
In this tutorial, we'll cover the basics of:
The Shell's input: how it reads words, splits them, expands special stuff, etc.
Control flow: case, if, while, for
Common utilities: sed, awk, grep, test, find, xargs, etcAfter some introductory material, we'll spend the time working together to build a simple server for fortunes/fables entirely in shell.

OGPC - One Geek Per Classroom
by Thomas Sprinkmeier
The thrilling adventures of a geek volunteering at his kids' schools to promote geek-dom.
For the last 3 terms I've been running a weekly session in all things geek, from Guido van Robot programming to Lego Mindstorm, circuit-glue to cyber-safety, rocketry to metallurgy.
My motivation is to inspire curiosity, the burning desire to know how things work (and how to make them work better), in short: geek-dom.
My talk is about how to do this in a minimal budget using not much more than remastered Linux DVDs, salt and LEDs.
The title is my challenge to the community: find yourself a classroom and spread the word!
