[Campus-hartnell-staff] following up

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Hi there Katie,

I just wanted to follow up on this email.  Are you still planning on doing
Open Source Day?  How can we help?

Also, re: the blog post - if you don't have time to write something up
(which I totally understand!) I could fairly easily make a post out of
pictures from the event + some quotes from the email, if it's okay that I
use them.

(Basically, we love having blog posts as a way to celebrate and publicize
the success of an event.  But up to half of events don't end up having
them.  So if this event doesn't, it's not the end of the world.)

best
Shauna
