Re: Cool project: building slides on how to get started with pygtk

[Frederic Muller <fredm gnome org>]

A friend of mine pointed me to 
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html which is a good reference.

The purpose of our 'exercise' is to be able to engage with an audience 
in 45/60 minutes (30minutes ?) and show them the simplicity of PyGtk to 
entice them to give it a try.

Maybe we can have a short (30min) and long(60min) version?
