[Campus-uw-staff] introductions & beginning to plan

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Have we successfully moved the event to Sunday and booked the rooms?

A few other questions:

- How are we doing for funding?  Red Hat may be interested in sponsoring
the event, which would mostly involve putting them on the website, and
having a Red Hatter or two mentoring at the event and on the career panel.
 I haven't 100% confirmed with them that they want to do this, but they
very probably do.

- The event isn't for a while yet, but there are a lot of potential
projects and mentors.  For instance, I talked to someone at OpenMRS today
who is going to ask some UW-area core contributors if they want to mentor
at the event.  It might be worth getting the publicity website (<
https://openhatch.org/wiki/Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/Logistics/Publicity_Website>)
up early so we can connect to mentors and attendees ahead of time, and
allow them to start collaborating before the event.  This requires more
work than just introducing everyone the day of, but is often worth the
effort.  Let me know what you think.
