Summary

Patchwork is hosting a hack night on April 13, 2015, at Notman House in Montréal, coinciding with PyCon, inviting both locals and visitors to learn Git and GitHub through a hands-on, self-paced workshop. The event is open to beginners with no coding experience, offering guidance from community mentors to help participants achieve their first merged pull request and gain confidence in contributing to open source projects. The evening will feature a story about starting in open source, group tutorials, and a lightning talk by Anna Filina, co-founder of ConFoo. Mentors with prior experience in merging pull requests are encouraged to attend and assist newcomers. Registration is required, and attendees will receive tutorial details via email, with food and refreshments provided.
