Perhaps Chris can take pictures? It would be excellent to have some
pictures with a nice camera! The ones with my phone from last time didn't
turn out as nicely as I would have liked.

Agreed! FYI, most students will be working from an Ubuntu image. Many but
not quite all will have gone through some of the bit.ly.laptop-setup
instructions

Yes, I have a few extra rooms reserved for break-aways. One room seats ~7
and another seats ~25. The rooms are a couple minutes' walk away.

The students who attended last semester are pretty excited to see the same
mentors from before :) Working with Chas and/or Asheesh would be great for
this part.

This sounds fantastic, and I really like how everyone will get to meet
everyone.

I understand your concern. I think the students who are "left behind" will
understand that their time will come in the future and that the benefit is
greater to the older students now.

I am excited about China doing this!

I am expecting right around 40 students, so the groups may get big...  I
think we will have a very high turnout rate from the people who have signed
up (41), and a couple more people may come who have not signed up.

So we could do 5 groups of 8 or 6 groups of 6-7. Looks like we should aim
for 6 groups instead of the original 5.

I will add another group to the responsibilities doc so the groups are like
this and we have 6 groups

   - Advanced:
   - Prior experience:
   - Prior experience:
   - Beginner:
   - Beginner:
   - Beginner:

Go ahead and sign up :) If mentors don't choose, I'm happy to assign.
