Other notes I took that you folks are likely to find interesting:

OpenHatch just began accepting events as "Affiliated" if they have 
newcomer-outreach as a goal. https://openhatch.org/wiki/Events/Affiliated 
has the info on that. If future WMF events want to be 
OpenHatch-affiliated, we'd love that.

I tried signing up for a new Gerrit account, and it sure is easy. Great!

We had enthusiastically discussed usability testing and adding to 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Browser_testing/Test_backlog and writing 
acceptance test criteria as ways new contributors can make a difference. 
I'll make sure that appears on our radar as we plan further 
campus.openhatch.org events, and check in with the QA wheel!

We also discussed the OpenHatch training missions. The best one might be 
the 'git' one, so you could try it:

https://openhatch.org/missions/git

I'm working on an IRC training mission (no ETA for it quite yet).

People had mentioned a desire for "How to file a bug" training mission. We 
don't have one yet... but if you want to write a plot, I can see if I can 
make the backend appear. Including spinning up a fake virtual bug tracker 
for the interactions, if that is part of the plot. (-:

You can file bugs requesting new training missions here:

Cheers, and feel very free to idle on #openhatch on irc.freenode.net! I'm 
paulproteus there and most places.
