Re: [PLUG] (fwd) Intro to Open Source event seeking mentors. Swarthmore College.

OpenHatch is a great resource for anyone looking to get involved with
contributing to Open Source. Check out their list of "bite-sized" bugs

I'm going to be out of town on the 21st, so I won't be able to join in, but
this looks like a great event that could use some volunteer support.
