[mpw-staff] What would you put on 1GB thumbdrives for a workshop?

[Mel Chua]

One of the local companies here in Indianapolis has offered to donate 50 
1GB thumbdrives for the first Indy Python Workshop. We need to figure 
out what to put on there.

Some ideas:

* http://portablepython.com/ (the version based on Python 2.7.2, unless 
there's a compelling reason to teach Python 3.x, though for a beginner 
workshop it probably doesn't matter -- as a side note, this only works 
on Windows, but Linux/Mac would likely already have Python installed.)

* A few documentation/reference files, all open content (would include 
pdfs):
** http://greenteapress.com/thinkpython/index.html -- for beginners
** http://docs.python.org/download.html -- all the python 2.7.2 docs
** http://www.diveintopython.net/ -- for slightly more advanced programmers

That's all I can think of. Others?
