	As of the last year (IIRC), most of the participants were Altai
	State University students (where the Barnaul's event is held),
	including those studying computer science (mostly engineering
	aspects of, AIUI.)

	An intro into Scheme in general (with examples runnable in
	Scheme48) may also be useful (provided that it's short enough so
	that we can translate it into Russian in time.)  We're planning
	to use a network-bootable Debian Wheezy Live to run some 20
	computers in a display room, and a version of Scheme48 will
	surely be among the available software.

	At the very least, I wonder if someone could write a short note
	on Scheme48, like the following one we've written on VLC
	(translation from Russian is mine):

    VLC

    Multipurpose free video player, with distinguishing features being
    the support of a multitude of formats, the independence of
    third-party codecs, the ability to work with stream video (including
    webcams), and also the ability to work with different playback
    libraries (such as FFmpeg.)

    Has numerous and various configuration parameters, but has an
    intuitive user interface at the same time.

	(We intend to place such short descriptions on the reverses of
	our “Join us on SFD-2012!” flyers [1].)

	TIA.
