Patchwork, a Git and GitHub workshop for beginners hosted by GitHub, will take place on October 14, 2014, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at the 5xRuby offices in Taipei. This event requires no prior coding experience and aims to help participants learn about commits, pull requests, and merging in a collaborative environment with snacks and networking opportunities. Attendees will leave with a merged pull request and a contribution record on GitHub, gaining confidence to engage further in the open-source community. Experienced contributors are invited to join as mentors, assisting newcomers in navigating their first pull requests. Notable speakers, including @dice and @audreyt, will share their journeys in programming and open-source contributions. Registration is available for both attendees and mentors, with pre-event instructions provided to ensure participants are prepared.
