[Campus-princeton-staff] I'm interested in helping out at the Princeton event on 11/22

[Lisha Ruan]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for pointing out that it's not listed on those calendars. It looks
like it's listed on the OpenHatch site now. I'll look into why it's not
listed on the Princeton calendars.

We're hoping to have at least 10 mentors for the event. We've reached out
to a few companies who said they could provide mentors, but no one has
definitively signed up yet, so we'd appreciate anyone who can come. For
panelists, anyone who's had professional experience with open source would
be awesome. But mainly we're just looking for any experienced engineers to
be mentors (those with open source experience would be especially great),
so that the students will have guidance during the workshop.

Best,
Lisha
