 The following issues are not bugs in the openhatch.org website; they're issues in the openhatch.org ''wiki'', our collaborative documentation area. Note that they're on a separate GitHub project called ''open-source-comes-to-campus'', which happens to be related to the event you are at!
+Skills required for this:
+* Following instructions on a wiki page; taking screenshots on your own computer. Optional: requesting admin access to the wiki, in order to be able to upload files.
 * Go through the laptop setup pages and add screenshots where you think they would be helpful.  The issues say to add images to the issue, but you can upload them directly to the wiki if you like (though you may have to get permissions).
