FAQ:
Q: This meetup seems quite long, can I do it in two sessions?
A: Yes, and during the meetup we will tell you how you can come back for part 2, if your schedule requires or you just want to think about being a member after you understand more.
Q: I heard this meeting was longer than 1.5 hours, is that true?
A: Depends; It can be as short as 1.5 hours and as long as 3. If you have no trouble following the instructions during the onboarding, it will be as short as 1.5 hours, if you need assistance, it will be up to 3 hours. But at 3 hours we end it no matter what.
Q: Does membership cost money?
A: No, we don't charge any membership fees or ask our members for money. Although there is a donation button on our website should you want to contribute, but its not a requirement or even mentioned any other place.
Q: Will I get matched with a project
A: Depends; some roles get matched during this meetup and some roles have to do self placement based on openings on teams.
Q: I heard you switched to a webinar model from an in person zoom meeting.
A: Yes, however, it's still very interactive. We use the first 40 minutes and several (secret) techniques to weed out the potential bombers. We did this because we were getting zoom bombed very hard. We tried every lock down setting that Zoom allows but the bombers were still disruptive. So we moved to the webinar model.
Q: I got kicked out of the session, now what?
A: Attend next week. We recommend you attend again and pay closer attention when we ask you for information. See the answer above (about zoom bombing) about why we can't be more accommodating.
Q: What is Hack for LA's GitHub?
