Actually, I think that I can handle this (though I'll ask other mentors to
chime in if they have any tips).

I just discovered that there's a canonical
version<https://openhatch.org/wiki/OSCTC/Tools>of the communication
tools presentation, but do people mind if I diverge
from that a bit? I was thinking about talking about finding projects /
communication tools for about 30 minutes. The rest of the time, I want to
ask the attendees to 1) quickly search OpenHatch, OhLoh, etc., for an
open-source project that might suit them; and 2) come up with a good
question to ask the maintainer(s) of these open source projects (which they
can share with each other in small groups). So by the end of the session
they should have an idea of an open source project they want to contribute
to, and an initial question they can ask on IRC or the mailing list to get
the ball rolling.

Good to know! I'll set up OBS on my computer.
