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

[Peter Wolanin]

I signed up on the mentor form a couple days ago - should I expect any
feedback or message?

Still trying to recruit 1 or 2 more experienced Drupalists.  Where do
you stand as far as the number of mentors you need?
