Hi all,

The folks at UofT, who've got their event up at events.openhatch.org, are
reporting trouble signing up using oauth - twitter, github, etc.  Did you
have trouble with this as well?  I know there are lots of people signed up,
but perhaps they all used traditional email and password?

best
Shauna
