[edit] List subscription email

You're getting this email because you've been accepted to POSSE South Africa and have just been added to the session mailing list. This list is for participants in your individual POSSE session; archives are publicly viewable, but only attendees of your POSSE are able to post.

This list will be low-traffic until your session begins. There is no requirement to participate on the list at this time. However, you may want to use it to coordinate transit/lodging with other attendees - for instance, if you're looking for a roommate or a carpool, this is a good place to ask. The instructors, coordinators, staff, and local community members are also on this list, so please feel free to ask any questions you might have on the program in general.

Welcome again, and we look forward to seeing you!

--Mel Chua, one of your instructors for the week

PS: For a glimpse behind the scenes of POSSE planning, and to overhear (and participate in) conversations with professors (POSSE alumni and others) who are already teaching open source, the Teaching Open Source (TOS) mailing list is a great resource (http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos) if you'd like to introduce yourself or ask questions early (purely optional). You will be introduced to the TOS community during your POSSE week.
