Portland friends, we hope you'll join us for a Patchwork hack night on March 29, that will be co-hosted with our friends at TaborSpace. If you're a beginner to Git and GitHub, or want to help others learn, we'd love to see you!

No coding experience needed

Patchwork is a self-directed, hands-on workshop for learning Git and GitHub. The atmosphere is casual and informal; it is not an event full of presented tutorials and copious note-taking. You will be able to go at your own pace, with the help of a community mentor nearby in case you run into any trouble. Join us for a night of hacking and snacking and make some new friends while you're at it!

Newcomers to Git and GitHub: you'll leave with a merged pull request, a square on your contributions graph, and confidence to get more involved in the open source community.

Mentors: if you've ever had a pull request merged, now is your chance to share the love and help someone else create magic.

Details:

Tens of thousands of game developers will descend upon San Francisco next week for the annual Game Developers Conference (GDC). But what would GDC be without the parties?

Come by GitHub HQ on Tuesday, March 15th around 7 PM. We’ll be celebrating a vibrant community of game developers—from weekend game jammers to early adopters of the bleeding-edge technologies that power next-generation mobile and VR experiences.

Bring your laptop, show off your games, and network with people who love gaming as much as you do. We'll supply the drinks, Wi-Fi, and Octocat stickers.

One more thing: GDC badges and/or proof of registration required for admittance. 21+ to drink (please bring ID). Show up early to avoid disappointment (we certainly wouldn't be the first GDC party to reach capacity quickly).

We hope you'll join us on February 10 at WorkMarket for a casual night of hands-on hacking and learning about Git, GitHub, and GitHub Pages. We'll be unveiling our new Patchwork curriculum, and we'd love your feedback!
