Quick Activity Essay Question

Quote:
In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).
That's the prompt, and I'm sure you all have seen it before. I'm applying to UPenn. So, I think talking about something related to engineering would be best. I have substantial leadership as a Yearbook staff member, but I also am on the track to become a developer for Gentoo Linux. Which do you think I should write about? Yearbook is self-explanatory. For Gentoo, I fix bugs and test out packages and things like that, help people out on the IRC channel. I also help out with the Gentoo-Alt project.

id definately just go with whatever activity you can write most passionately and effecitvely about with so few words....but if your torn between the two, id go with linux just because that is something that i doubt too many other applicants would be able to discuss
