+<p>Learn the tools and culture of open source development, meet great people, and help impact real projects during this all-day
+immersion workshop. No prior experience is needed for participation in this event: students of all levels of technical skill
+and from all majors are welcomed. (Not all contributions come in the form of code. It can be artwork, documenation and copy,
+translations, and more!) And yes, all meals and snacks are provided.</p>
+
+<p>Open Source Day at Mason 2017 is organized by Mason student organization Student-Run Computing and Technology, with financial
+support from the George Mason Department of Computer Science.</p>
+
+<p>The three years past we've held this event in co-ordination with the Boston-based nonprofit Openhatch through their
+Open Source Comes to Campus initiative. Because that organization is now in the process of winding down its operations, this
+year we are incredibly excited to be teaching our own curriculum we've developed.</p>
+
+<p>Participants will work in small groups with both outside open source professionals and trained student mentors to cover the practical 
+skills needed to contribute to open source projects. They'll also hear talks by Mason faculty on open source history, and its use in academia as well
+as a discussion by a panel of open source contributors in industry.</p>
+
+<p>Making open source more welcoming to newcomers and more diverse are mutually reinforcing goals, and we're committed to building as broad
+a group of contributors and greater community as we can. We hope you'll join us encouraging participation by women, minorities, and other
+members of groups generally underrepresented in tech.</p>
