[Campus-hartnell-staff] [MENTORS] planning for Saturday

[Katie Cunningham]

Sorry, I was preoccupied with my organizer hat and forgot my mentor hat :)

1) I believe I can lead a git group with the mission's guidance. I don't
have much experience beyond git basics, so if one of those showstopping git
errors pops up I may need assistance.

2) I think all but 3 of the attendees know about my job, so probably no on
the career panel.

3) I have edited pages on MediaWiki, so I may be in a solid spot to help
guide Wikipedia contributions.

I just talked to a technology staff member here at CSUMB who works on a
project called Quail <http://quailjs.org/>. It's a tool to check if a
website you've designed has everything needed proper accessibility
(pictures have alt-text for blind users, color scheme doesn't cause
problems for colorblindness, etc). If a student were to be involved in this
project, it seems they could get a lot of local mentorship. Do you think it
would be appropriate to mention this project at some point on Saturday?

Thanks!
-Katie
