We've done a lot of work to document our process. Here's what we have to offer you:
Line 15 ⟶ 19:
=====Logistics=====
 
There are a number of logistical hurdles when planning an event, from finding space and making sure you have the right equipment to ordering the right amount of food. We keep these logistics organized via a [https://drive.google.com/?tab=mo&authuser=0#folders/0B4HP1ey91UqPb1RrN25YOFA4V3c shared folder] which you can copy for your event. The [[https://openhatch.org/wiki/Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/Logistics | Logistics]] page has a bunch of advice as well (and is referenced several times from the overview documents in the shared folder.)
 
If you find any of this documentation confusing or insufficient, we'll be happy to answer all your questions (and we'll use your feedback to improve our process!)
Line 25 ⟶ 29:
=====Staff=====
 
One of the most important parts of a successful event is making sure you have friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic staff. We have a large network of OpenHatch fans and volunteers who we'll ask to staff your event, and we'll help you [[Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/Logistics#How_do_you_find_staff.3F | find new volunteers]] as well.
 
We'll also support you with a number of remote staff, including:
* Throughout the event, Asheesh and/or Shauna will be available remotely.
* During the contributions workshop, we'll have maintainers of [[OpenHatch_affiliated_projects | selected projects]] available to help guide attendees through contributing to said projects via IRC.
* There are pros and cons to doing the career panel remotely. If you decide you want to do the career panel via videoconference, we can hook you up with some amazing people working in open source who will participate.
