[Campus-hartnell-staff] following up

[Katie Cunningham]

Hi Shauna,

I'm sorry for my very long response time! I was out sick for a while and
finals always makes me a little crazy.

The students planned an Open Beach Day for Friday, but they strongly want
to do Open Source Day 10-~2pm on Saturday. So that will happen!

I realize that it may be too late notice for your involvement, and that is
totally okay. If it's not too late, having someone standing by would be
awesome!

If anyone is interested in coming down (I'm speaking more to my friends
here), of course that's fantastic, but I realize that it is a big
commitment. I just want to put it out there :) I had a crazy idea of maybe
trying to use a space in San Jose or Santa Cruz for this, to make it a bit
more fun and perhaps increase the chance of people stopping by... but it is
most likely too late. If you have any thoughts let me know!

Now that classes are over, I have time to do a blog post! I will do it by
the end of this week.

All the best,
Katie
