Hey Sumana,
I'm have a table in the Student Opportunities Lab where I'll be talking to students about contributing to open source. I would love to help, and if there are other people interested, we could pair up. I'm in Texas, so I'm not super close, but let me know if you'll need me.
Also, congrats on your acceptance into Hacker School. I'm so excited for you!

"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. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation
