Working together with Github

Contributing to open source is more than learning a bunch of tools, it's also making friends! Augustina will share a model for open source community participation that's less prestige-driven & get you started through a socially-focused introduction to collaborating on Github.

Trigger Warning: There will be emoji.

You are encouraged to bring your laptops to follow along!
