I've actually approached CC4G about this twice -- once several months and then again last week at a talk by one of the CC4G organisers. Rather frustratingly, they're not interested. CC4G is run around a fairly tight model, involving small groups within schools, run by a coordinator who guides the girls through a curriculum involving a set of software tools designed by CC4G. They're not keen on having groups such as DW speak at CC4G clubs, though they'd be happy for DW members to sign up as CC4G voluteers and help with the regular program. Also, I did take their contact details in hopes of getting them to think about using free software in future, though to be honest, I'm not very hopeful. -- hanna m. wallach http://join-the-dots.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
