As far as python goes, this has a quick sense of pacing, and has a lot of
interactive exercises, while building something pretty useful in the end.

It goes into a little bit more theory then I think is useful for some
folks, but it's still a great resource.

I'll put a rec out for CodeSchool. They started mostly with ruby, but
they've expanded into a wide array of courses (only a few of which are
free). But they're slick, well thought-through affairs, and Try Ruby/Rails
for Zombies is still I think the best introduction to Rails out there.

Hey there! Apparently, trying to get into a bar, yesterday, on Mardi Gras
day is a bad idea.
But we have reservations and assurances that getting there at 6pm will
be a good idea and that we'll just waltz right in.

a) We're going to try and get reservations for 8pm. That means that people
interested should follow the instructions here, 8pm, for a party of 4.

I think that a voting process which involves working both with github, the
issue tracker, and presumably using the network map of branches seems a bit
ornate, puts a barrier to contribution up, and is likely to be confusing.
I think that if a /whatever policy is developed for "how does C4L decide

Chicago is my favorite city to visit, and one of the reasons is the
absolutely amazing food/drink scene, and at the head of that bar scene is
Aviary, a bar which has a potential claim on the best cocktail bar in
America, and at the very least, it's certainly the craziest.

I've 'audited' a bunch of classes on Coursera, just to get an idea for what

As a preface, I fully support both of these changes in language.
That said, I think it's both important to balance the idea that sure,
sometimes people are idiots, with that sexism is a prevalent problem right
now at geek conventions, and that it's more than a 'bad and/or drunk

At least in the speculative fiction community (and I see it elsewhere), PoC

We have the heavyduty solution (JIRA/Greenhopper), but there's a lot
of nice relatively cheap web stuff that I think might fit your bill.
