Keep an eye out for an email from Professor Ng

I just got an email from Professor Ng and wanted to make sure no one loses theirs in a spam filter:

Dear xxyy xxyy,

Congratulations again on being one of the top students in ml-class! I know that many of you had put a lot of time into ml-class last year, and I'm still deeply grateful for all your hard work.

Since last year, we've been working hard to extend our online course offerings. By making the best education in the world freely available to anyone that seeks it, I think we can change the world, and give many many many people better jobs, better careers, better lives.

To make this happen, I'd like to ask for your help!

Jobs in online education. To freely offer an online education to millions, I've co-founded (with Daphne Koller) a company Coursera. We're well funded, and if you're a top-notch software engineer, aren't scared of solving hard technical problems, and want to use your skills to change millions of lives, please join us! Send us your resume at http://jobs.coursera.org/. Be sure to mention in your application that you took ml-class. If you have friends who're talented software engineers that would like to change the world, please encourage them to apply too.
Your story. We're collecting stories from students to share with the world. If last quarter's online classes had a big impact on your life, I'd love to hear your story. Please email me at andrew@coursera.org. I can't promise to respond to every email, but I will read every one of them.
More online courses. Finally, building on last quarter's success, Coursera is now offering 15 courses on a range of CS and other topics. I hope you'll create a Coursera account at http://coursera.org/, and also encourage your friends to take some of these classes with you.

Thanks again for taking ml-class last year. I hope you'll continue to work with me in the next chapter of this online education revolution
