[Events] Bringing OpenHatch to Princeton

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Hi Katherine,

Thanks for contacting us!  We'd love to help you bring an
intro-to-open-source workshop to Princeton.

We've been focusing on making our events easy for other people to run, so
that Asheesh and I (the two main organizers) don't have to travel so much.
 Would you be interested in trying to run such an event yourself?  We would
of course help you remotely at every step of the process, including finding
open source experts near you who can help staff the event.  The events are
also highly customizable so you could change or get rid of parts that
seemed overwhelming, or shorten it to be more manageable.

If that's something you're excited about, let me know, and we can get
started thinking & planning.  Probably a good first step would be for you
to join the planning lists for the Rutgers & Columbia lists and attend one
or both events to see what they're like.  I *might* also be able to swing a
very low key trip to Princeton when I'm down for the Rutgers/Columbia
events, and perhaps walk you & other interested organizers (< 10 people)
through an hour or two of our training material.

Let me know what you think!

best,
Shauna
