Hangout #5: Dec 5

• Discussion and work session on github for project week organization
  • General goal is to replace the wiki with something more "standard"
  • Published site: https://na-mic.github.io/ProjectWeek/
  • Repository: https://github.com/NA-MIC/ProjectWeek
  • Overall github is not really easier than mediawiki but generally it's agreed that git has become an essential tool that all Project Week attendees will benefit from learning.
• Usage
  • Everyone needs to create a github account
  • First edit should be done by forking the ProjectWeek repository and creating a pull request
  • Several people (Andras, Steve, Jc, Tina...) are administrators who will
    • Merge the pull request
    • Add the attendee to the collaborator list for the Project Week project so that future edits can be done directly without using pull rqeusts
  • Discussions about project week should happen on discourse.slicer.org, not on github

Hangout #4: Nov 28
