That would be awesome!

> we will happily provide the snacks for the event :)

Curious what budget level?

These are our expenditures the last two times we ran this event:

3/22/2014
73 registered, 46 attended (33 male, 13 female [12 students, 1 faculty])
 -- 63% attendee/registrant ratio
$455 lunch + $190.71 breakfast = $645.71 food total ($8.85/student)
$500 honorarium to the 501(c)3 OpenHatch <http://openhatch.org/>


6/29/2013

51 registered, 40 attended (8 female, 32 male [30 students, 2 faculty])
-- 78% attendee/registrant ratio

$400 food total ($7.84/student)
$500 honorarium to the 501(c)3 OpenHatch <http://openhatch.org/>


...a few things to say:

   - I think the attended/registered ratio will improve as two of the main
   organizers -- Kevin Morris & Tyler Brothers -- are full time students
   (Kevin is the president of the club).  Last time I was organizing this as
   an alumna, and didn't have any direct / in-person contact with most of the
   attendees.  The first time we ran it, I was still a on-campus students, so
   I expect our conversation rate will improve again.
   - The TechSF <http://bavc.org/techsf> program is covering OpenHatch's
   $500 honorarium
   - Overall, we're trying to provide food that (1) covers the vegetarians,
   vegans, gluten-free & (2) is good brain fuel since it's a long day of
   coding [i.e. we're trying to avoid sugar crashes]
      - In the past
         - breakfast:
            - coffee
            - OJ
            - [bad sugar food -- donuts, muffin, etc -- trying to change
            that this time around -- likely getting yogurt & granola
from the grocery
            store, fruit & bagels from Noahs]
         - lunch:
            - we've ordered middle eastern food for lunch (in particular
            from this restaurant:  http://palmyrasf.com/menu/ ), and that's
            worked out well.
               - indian or other cuisine are considered, just trying
               (mildly) to avoid pizza since (1) the mentors will have
been to too many
               meetups feeding them pizza, (2) the carbo-load isn't
the best brain food,
               and (3) not good for gluten-free folks


Let me know what funding level Mozilla can provide.

Regards,

Katherine

Pretty stoked about this event.  During our last Google Hangout, we hammer
out an excellent schedule to serve & segregate 3 groups of attendees:

   - complete beginners (instruction in morning, contributions after lunch)
   - advanced beginners (instruction in morning, contributions after lunch)
   - everybody else (everyone ready to jump into the contributions right
   from the beginning of the day)

...I see this workshop as continuing to improve, and really feeding CCSF
students, both their professional development & their entry into open
source.
