[open-data-day] Open Data Day - Mountain View, CA [Open Science/Data Education Course Sprint]

[Billy Meinke]

Ah, I was hoping to find people working on the Pi for Open Data Day.  I'm
going to be posting a wiki/planning document around the course sprint in
the next couple of weeks and would love for you to see if there's room to
work together on this, Mike.  Thanks for chiming in.
