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

[Lisha Ruan]

Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for volunteering!

We're actually not within PWiCS anymore -- we're an independent club called
Open Source at Princeton. Our website is here:
http://opensourceatprinceton.github.io/ It's still a work in progress,
though, since we only became a club this year. A sign-up website for the
open source workshop will be up very soon.

We can't move the date of the event because we've already booked a room
(the Friend Center Convocation Room) and reached out to potential mentors
with the current date. But it would be fantastic to have you there and
anyone else involved with Drupal!

Anyone who wants to be a mentor can sign up here: http://goo.gl/MlhAxK

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,
Lisha
