Yeah, we should figure that out, possibly a little closer to the date. It sounds like everyone is in the frantic throes of pre-SIGCSE spring-break mania right now. > 3. I can contribute to POSSE recruiting. Excellent - having multiple alumni (Matt, Mihaela, Grant) on the ground helping with this will be a *huge* boon. You folks are going to be way better at explaining POSSE to other professors than Sebastian and I will be, just because you *are* professors. As I said to Mihaela, we'll figure out exactly what this means once we hit the ground in Dallas. :) > 4. I'll help with SIGCSE coverage for opensource.com/education.

Matt has been super-active on opensource.com/education planning for SIGCSE and has a lot of great coverage planned. Big support on this. > My total travel expense is $573.41. Accepted, http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Budget#2012 and http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Budget/2012/Matt_Jadud_SIGCSE_travel_grant. With that, I think we are at the sanity threshold for SIGCSE travel grant requests. I will close funding for this event now - let me know if you have any comments/questions. --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
