[Campus-purdue-staff] next steps

Tue Oct 28 22:07:24 UTC 2014

Fantastic.  I've updated the cname/dns stuff, so it should be working at
http://purdue.openhatch.org/ within 30 minutes.

Let me know if you need my help with any of the mentor stuff, or if you're
worried you won't have enough mentors and I can try to find more people.
In addition to the leads from my emails, I've also put into the spreadsheet
a link to a Software Carpentry event that ran at Purdue last spring.  SWC,
if you haven't heard of them, is a great group of folks trying to provide
basic computer science backgrounds to scientists.  There's a lot of overlap
in interests/people between their org and ours, so I try to invite SWC
mentors to be mentors at our events too.  I also put on Lenna Peterson, who
I remember coming as a student to last year's event but who I think would
be a great mentor.  Also Elliott Williams, who works with OpenMRS, which is
a great open source medical records project.  I'll do an email intro for
Elliott shortly after I click send.
