[mpw-staff] Visitors! Instructors! TAs!

[Catherine Devlin]

Um, I did open registration... probably should have said something
about it, huh?  :P  Was just experimenting with how it would work with
the meetup website, and by the time I came back to check on the
experiment several people had signed up.

I think most of the signups so far have been by IndyPy people planning
to volunteer - I need to ask Calvin how we can email to our
registrants to ask them stuff like, "Are you ?" "Who's your female
co-attendee? (for men)", "Will you need childcare?" - and, of course,
to send them reminders, schedule, requirements.

This weekend I absolutely will figure out our budget needs and a
specific sponsor prospectus....
