[Campus-purdue-staff] next steps

[Lauren M Stuart]

Hi Shauna!

Funding -- CSWN is covering everything. We're a well-funded group this year. One thing we need to know ahead of time is if we're going to have mentors from out of town so that we can try to support their travel as well, sort of like how we did with you and Asheesh last year. We'll need to know that two weeks before the event so we can make sure we've got the right paperwork to make that work smoothly. 

Publicity -- We'll handle the website. I tasked Eehita, with me as backup for any problems.

Mentors -- We're contacting the main student group we know (Purdue Linux Users Group, with a link to the mentor sign-up and a rough description of what a mentor could do) to fish for mentors there. It hadn't occurred to me to ask faculty. Should we cold-email or ask for referrals? Or both?  

Lauren

Hi Lauren and Eehita, 


My apologies for the radio silence the last couple of weeks! I wanted to touch base and talk about the next steps. 


According to Trello (< https://trello.com/b/DJa8TmiM/purdue >), we've got date + location settled, but still need to figure out: 



- Funding: Will the school be able to provide any funds to cover food for the event? If not, I can look for sponsors, but I need to know soon. I've assigned all three of us to this item on Trello. 


- Publicity: We should start our publicity push within the next week. To do this, we should get the publicity site up. Can one of you take care of it? There are links on the Trello card for how to do so. If you can't, please say so, so that I know that I need to step in and do it. If you can, let me know once it's ready so I can get up the domain name stuff. 


- Mentors: I'm willing to take the lead on this, but it would be helpful if you could let me know any students or faculty that you think might like to be mentors. I've assigned myself to this on Trello. 


best 
Shauna
