We, the people
summary
Workshop revivals and concrete outcomes: a campus event draws 15 attendees, a follow‑up group of 7 stays and codes for eight hours, contributions land in MediaWiki and Mozilla (Fennec, add‑ons), and 2 participants enter Google Summer of Code working on typo3 and Zahana. Early attempts fail when lab machines get wiped and faculty push certification over practice; success measures by who returns to keep building rather than slides or attendance numbers.
