Patchwork Night

img

Next Thursday, March 27th, we're hosting another Patchwork night at GitHub HQ! Patchwork nights are hands-on learning Git and GitHub.

Patchwork night is great for people new to Git and GitHub. By the end of the night you'll have your first pull request on an open source project merged and green squares on your contribution graph!

If you want to help mentor future open sourcers, this night is for you, too. You and Hubbers will help attendees with questions throughout the workshop. If you completed the workshop in January, you're ready to mentor, and we'd love to see you again!

We got great feedback from the last event and are going to build time into the night to talk about getting involved in open source and workflows. Myself, @muan, @alysonla, @mdo, @chrissiebrodigan, other Hubbers and the mentors will all be on hand to answer your queries!

Also, no coding experience required! RSVP here.

Details:

  • For: Git and GitHub beginners
  • When: Thursday, March 27th, 2014 6p - 9p
  • Where: GitHub HQ, 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. St., San Francisco, CA

Nashville Training and Drinkup

GitHub is coming to Music City!

Come join us at the Emma Bistro on Monday, March 24th when we'll be hosting a training session on the basics of Git and GitHub. The event is open to all, but you'll want to RSVP.

UPDATE: The training session has proven to be really popular with the Nashville community, so, unfortunately, only waitlist slots are available at this time.

Then later in the week you can meet up with me, @azizshamim, @jameswhite, @jfryman, @Foggybtmgirl, @jroll, @tlberglund, @wfarr, and @alindeman for :beers::cocktail::wine_glass: on us at Nashville's rockin'est west-side venue, The Stone Fox.

The Stone Fox features a full bar, and a selection of both hard-working and craft beers. If you're hungry, they also offer a great menu of modern and traditional Southern cuisine, with comfy places to eat and converse, inside or out.

well, hoooooowdy!

If you want music, they have both kinds (actually, everything from punk to indie to rockabilly to western swing). Feel free to stay for the bands, but if you come after 9, expect to kick in $5 for the gig.

UPDATE: drinkup attendees are on the guest list for the bands which start around 9pm -- just let the fine folks at the door know you're there for the GitHub event. :heart:
