  • WCSF dates have been announced for October 2014. The date shifted because the venue will be under construction over the summer.

  • We’re looking for new volunteers to help coordinate training programs & materials.
  • I’ve seen a question or two in IRC lately about whether we’ll be participating inmentorship programs (GSOC and the like) for next year. So, as a general reminder in case any of you see the question come up, we do plan to participate again, but we have to apply for each program separately, usually in the spring for summer programs — so please tell any potential students that we can’t say yet that we’re participating, but there will be announcements about each program individually as soon as there’s news to report.
