[Campus-rutgers-staff] bringing Open Source Comes to Campus back to Rutgers

January 31st is fine with me. We'll need some student org to reserve a
room. We should aim for an open space instead of a classroom setup (like
how Core A was setup last year). It might be nice to get the BCC MPR or
Cove, otherwise I'd say the Cave might work (though presentations will be
harder). Thoughts?
I can also help get mentors. Do we have an idea of what we want in terms of
headcount?
Once we solidify the date I'll reach out to Amy to order swag.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <http://campus.openhatch.org/>, you can

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> can support you.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We’re creating self-guided versions of our

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> about this.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A practical note: this fall, we will be
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> running events on three weekends: September
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 13th & 14th, October 18th & 19th, and November
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 15th & 16th. We understand that the process
