<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>I’m helping to run an event introducing students to free/open source software on Saturday Oct. 18th at DePaul. I was wondering if you would be interested in helping out!<br><br>The event runs from 10am-5pm, with coffee, bagels and socializing for a half hour beforehand. (Staff won't need to show up at 9:30 sharp, but should be there by quarter of ten if possible.) You can find out more about the event here <insert link here>.<br><br>We're looking for people to help mentor attendees as they learn how to contribute to open source projects. Instructors with a variety of backgrounds are welcome: while it's great if you have tons of experience using git and setting up development environments, we're also looking for people who've been involved with open source as non-programmers, who know a bit about picking bugs and submitting patches, or who just like to talk about their experiences with open source.<br><br>If any of this sounds appealing to you, and you're available on October 18th email us back at <a href="mailto:campus-depaul-staff@lists.openhatch.org">campus-depaul-staff@lists.openhatch.org</a> to coordinate. If you're interested but not available, I can put you on a list of potential volunteers to contact when we next run an event in the area. And feel free to pass this along to others in the area who you think might be interested.<br><br><a href="http://depaul.openhatch.org/">http://depaul.openhatch.org/</a><br><br><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16L99rDywLXPMiOK0HEkpN-R6tletE431Vt1PWIak34I/viewform">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16L99rDywLXPMiOK0HEkpN-R6tletE431Vt1PWIak34I/viewform</a><br><br>Thanks!<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><a href="mailto:shekay@pobox.com" target="_blank">shekay@pobox.com</a></div>
