[Events] Open source comes to campus: website in beta

[Jessica Ledbetter]

Jessica gets huge bonus points for submitting her feedback as patches. I'm
heading out the door so I'm just going to email questions/suggestions :)
Hope that is ok!

Since you have white mouseovers for the tabs if you should have "active" be
white too? Especially since there's a white bar running below. Just seems
like it wants to blend and be "active," if that makes sense.

I'm not used to seeing the beta ribbon follow me down the page. Did you mean
for it to do that?

*on http://campus.openhatch.org/upcoming-events/*  :
"be a part of this, let us know!" --> make it really easy by linking to
either "Get in Touch" or like you did on "Past Events."

"Send us an email!" -> ditto

Maybe for the text below, use the "royal we" (like on the front page) or
just drop "probably Asheesh Laroia." I'm guessing that you'll find help
cause this idea and you are awesome!
"A representative of OpenHatch, probably Asheesh Laroia, will plan and
organize the event."

"We organize weekend workshops at colleges to teach students how to get
involved in open source software. You can invite us to your college." I
thought OpenHatch was a website for getting people involved in open source.
Maybe keep that brand/mission but add something like "In addition to that,
we are now organizing weekend workshops at colleges to teach students ..."

I really like that you said that it's not just about coding. So true! Open
source projects usually can use all sorts of contributors!

Also, I really like that the photos are women in them. Thank you :)

Are you going to host the slides on gitorious for others to branch? Kind of
like the ruby workshops for women?

Is openhatch.org going to get this design?

Really dig the idea :)
