[Devel] I like OpenHatch, so I made this video about you

[Asheesh Laroia]

Hey cool development people!

Around three months ago (maaaan I'm behind), I went to the education 
summit before LinuxCon in Boston. The neat people at 
TeachingOpenSource.org invited me to talk about OpenHatch.

It was also the first talk I gave since Raffi left to go to grad school. 
In the past, when I said "we" in public about OpenHatch, I meant us two, 
since we started the tech behind the website. But now we have a whole 
bunch of cool people on this Devel list and making contributions through 
git and IRC chats. So now whenever I say "we", it means you! I've been 
kind of slow with OpenHatch stuff lately, but it's been really heartening 
to see all the contributions recently from people.

Anyway, it went unusually well. There's a video (in Ogg Theora). I really 
recommend watching it; I think it explains the site, the community, and 
the history pretty well!

You can also read a write-up summary by Máirín Duffy at 
http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/mini-education-summit-linuxcon-boston-2010/ 
-- it's pretty far toward the bottom, in a section called "Using OpenHatch 
to find student projects and mentors".

Also, I really like it when other people keep the discussion going on this 
list. It means a lot to me, so the first person to reply to the list with 
some meaningful comment about the video gets a hand-written thank you card 
from me. The first and second people to reply to this list with a comment 
get to know that they're making the list a friendlier place.

Whee,

-- Asheesh.

P.S. I'm going to use my asheesh.org for the devel list, since apparently 
I'm not very good at reading my openhatch.org email address.
