Sounds good.  I'm also going to approach the student association
graduate engineers (SAGE) today to see if they would be interested in
helping.  They hold a lot of coffee hours throughout the semester and
since their goal is to generate collaboration between groups of
graduate engineers across departments, I imagine they would be
interested in spreading the knowledge of collaborative / community
software development.

Changing dates isn't hard and now is certainly the time to do it.  The
alternative dates we could hold the one day event are October 18 or
19:

I'll stop by the involvement fair this afternoon.
