[Campus-hartnell-staff] planning another Open Source Comes to Campus event for the fall

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

It was great to see you at GHC, Katie!  I was sorry to not spend more time
with you -- it's so easy to lose track of folks with a crowd of 8,000.

We've got a few events coming up this weekend that I've been focusing on
but I want to jump into planning this next week. Something for you to
consider in the meantime: if there was one area for improvement you'd like
to single out after the last event, what would it be?
