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

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

I've added Ben and Allan on Trello.

The google docs folder is here, and I've added all of you:
https://drive.google.com/#folders/0B4HP1ey91UqPVlRkaGJJM19jNDg

Template signups are in, appropriately, templates.

The lead developer for OpenMRS <http://openmrs.org/> lives near UW and is
interested in coming to the event.  Any of you interested in being the
point person for mentors generally or project leads specifically to talk
to?  If anyone is interested in trying to develop ongoing relationships
between FLOSS projects and UW students this would be a good role for them.

best
Shauna
