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

Are we still planning on a Jan 31st date?  If so, we should prioritize
getting the event website set up and starting to register mentors there.
Also: publicity + signing up students.  Let me know if you have any
questions about how to go about that.

Also: Are folks interested in doing a mentor training?  I can meet with
people virtually, via google hangouts, for 2ish hours and go through the
curriculum in a fair amount of detail.  This is a question on the mentor
sign-up form for the event website, but since people haven't been going
through that yet, I thought I'd ask more directly.

Did we get confirmation on google sponsorship?
