These materials are freely available from their website (http://livewires.org.uk/python) under a BSD-style licence. We give the campers a cut-down version of this material in deadtree format. Printing and binding will cost us around $350 this year, as we produce around 60 copies, bound in 2-ring A5 binders. We would also like to promote Linux Australia on camp, and the local UG, HUMBUG. If there are any materials that LA deems suitable for distribution, they are most welcome.
