As someone who attended this last year, I think that having a specific
small project/goal in mind would be very helpful -- many attendees
seemed to enjoy the projects where they could show off what they did
in the end.

"The purpose of Grace Hopper Open Source Day is to give attendees of the
conference and some of our friends from local universities the
opportunity to code, network and contribute to the greater social good."
I was going to lead this. But if possible, I'd like to concentrate on my
sabbatical and give someone else a chance to guide these folks (mostly
women who are studying computer science as grad students or
undergraduates). I can give you instructions and task lists for how to
help these MediaWiki/Wikimedia newbies started. And WMF can pay for you
to get to Minneapolis and stay overnight for a few nights. (The closer
you are, the better.)
Can you help?
I'd like to get this taken care of by the end of this Friday; please
email me off-list if you're interested. Thanks.
