Upon leaving the TED alternative BIL Unconference, Rahmin Sarabi wanted to see what his friends had to teach each other in a similar co-education framework. The community-powered learning community (un)classes became Sarabi and partner Jonathan Strauss' chance to see what smart folks would be willing to share, and the result is a good “what to do on a free Saturday afternoon” solution given the classes' informal nature and wide range of content. Peer instructors have raised their hands everywhere from New York to Boise, and the Cloudspace-powered community offers everything from the very practical  (Accounting for Dummies and Salesforce) to the fantastic (cheesemaking and straight razor shaving). Talk about the joy of learning.

Emily, thanks for the great write up. We’re having a lot of fun unclasses in SF so far and are just getting started — will be great to see the community grow in other places like NYC.

If you want to stay in the loop with the unclasses movement, check us out at http://twitter.com/unclasses and http://www.facebook.com/pages/unclasses/74117975329

And a quick shout out to Todd and John Sampson, core members of the unclasses team and Cloudspace – we wouldn’t be here without their support.
