Small research meeting
Hello!
We're some educators and students in Geography and we're trying to run a near-zero-budget little research meeting in a field that doesn't have many grants available and isn't yet totally comfortable with the open ethos--and yet, as organizers, we'd really, really love to get people using GitHub. Is it at all possible that we could get a private repo?
Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance for your consideration and for all your work on the total awesomeness that is this community!
More specifically, we'd like to have people participate in some collaborative coding exercises, some development of research agendas moving forward, writing of a collaborative wiki, and introducing participants to GitHub pages--which we would use to also create a small website for participants.
Incidentally, we only have thirty participants, so it won't be a lot of space.
Oh -- I just saw this now -- https://github.com/blog/1840-improving-github-for-science In this case, perhaps we can get 20 repos, then? Many thanks!!
As noted in that blog post, you can apply for them here: https://education.github.com/discount :wink:
