Sunlight Foundation

For a few years now, labs members of Sunlight have offered various technical classes to the rest of the staff, covering HTML and CSS, javascript, ruby, and python. It's a good way to foster collaboration between staff and generate new ideas. Just like I enjoy picking the brains of our policy department now and then, non-Labs Sunlighters usually enjoy learning at least the basics of what the other half does.

I'm about to start up a new round of the python class, now that we've got a brand spankin' new crop of fellows and interns. But since I'm pretty tired of having to futz with my linux configuration to get a proper dual display going on a TV every time, and I want the students to be able to ignore me more surreptitiously, like a proper class, I've decided to use the screen sharing feature on Google+ hangouts instead. And since we'll be on a hangout anyway... why not open it up to all of you good people who might be interested?
