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

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Hi Katie,

Sorry for the delay in responding - I was away for the weekend.  I'll talk
about this more with Asheesh during our weekly meeting tomorrow, but I do
have some questions.  Most importantly: are you asking whether someone from
OpenHatch is interested in leading the class, or whether we can help you
lead such a class?

best
Shauna
