About the outflow of developers from free projects, teaching Python as a first language and other topics

I thought for a long time over the heading, as a result, a couple of interesting questions from reports of the recent, the eighth in a row, conference “Free Software in Higher School” got into it.

This event is traditionally held in the winter in the cozy building of the University of Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl Region, in a somewhat family-like setting, and therefore not known to the general public. And yet, every year there are very interesting reports, and even more interesting speakers. Four of them I would like to highlight in this topic, although everyone deserves attention. By tradition, the topics of reports (especially on the first day) are beyond the scope of the conference, and the more interesting it is to listen to them.

1) “STR. A midlife crisis? ” (I wanted to put one of the report slides in the title of the topic -“ Where did the circus go? ”, But abstained)
On the eve of the 30th anniversary of the GNU movement, a well-known analyst Antoliy Yakushin, a man of the broadest knowledge of software, sums up some results and, in particular, tells: where does the outflow of developers of free projects go? free projects, why Stallman is not a socialist and other burning issues

2) “Using the Python programming language as a base when teaching specialists”
Lecturer at VMK MSU and author of books Georgy Kuryachy, in an expressive manner peculiar to him, summarizes his experience of many years of teaching Python. A curious report, like all that George does.



3) “Is it possible to retrain computer science, which has studied traditional programming, to algebraic?”
Professor Nikolai Nikolayevich Nepeyvoda, probably the most amazing programming instructor I’ve seen in my life, raises another interesting question and in his distinctive manner he shares with him.



4) "The use of open source software in education"
Academician of RAS, Director of ISP RAS, Head. Department of System Programming, Moscow State University, Moscow; head. Viktor Petrovich Ivannikov , the basic department of System Programming at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, thoroughly talks about the use of SPO exclusively at the department, not forgetting to be distracted by other interesting topics.
