Sounds great.  You should be able to put Vesha on the mailing list, no?
 Did you guys want to use our publicity website
template<https://openhatch.org/wiki/Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/Logistics#How_do_you_publicize.3F>?

If you're interested, we can do a remote career panel (via google hangouts)
with people affiliated/organizing open source internship programs.  Should
be able to get people from OPW, GSoC, the Center for Open Science,
Wikimedia, maybe Mozilla.

You're totally right.  Typing/thinking too quickly.  A save-the-date email
sometime in the next few weeks might be effective, though.
