[Campus-berkeley-staff] publicity & sign ups

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Fantastic, thanks for doing that.  Looks like we're at 79 signups, which is
aaaaaalmost there.  We want 75 people, and in my experience we get a 20-40%
no-show rate.  So let's keep an eye on things, and maybe do one more push
if we don't get to 100 sign-ups by the end of the day tomorrow.
