[Campus-morris-staff] bringing Open Source Comes to Campus back to Morris

[Elena Machkasova]

Hi Shauna,

looking at the links, I am not entirely sure about a couple of things:
1. The curriculum seems to be one day, why is the workshop listed for the
entire weekend? Is there more to it? (I'd like to reserve the room at this
point, so it would be useful to know)
2. On a related note, would you guys be doing some sort of skype/google
hangout presentations? This may also affect our room needs.
3. What exactly does it mean that we are "signed up" for that weekend?

Many thanks!

Elena
