👥 Chapters Berlin

Hello Everybody,

I would like to organize a Git Workshop for Beginners and slightly advanced Git User. I was thinking about two afternoons over a weekend in March. Are there a) Coaches b) Co-Organizer and c) potential Attendees?

I have never been an OTS coach, but I would like to share my knowledge about git. Can I participate? Weekend in March sounds good.

Hey @netznarkose,

I’d be in; and so far all my march weekends are still free. Have you looked at our material on http://opentechschool.github.io/social-coding/? I’ve taken part in that workshop as a coach and learner before, and it’s a great intro for beginners. As for the second afternoon: What do you think should be in there? BTW, here’s a great talk by @nusco on Git Internals: http://confreaks.tv/videos/gardencityrb2015-keynote-wrapping-your-head-around-git

Hello Netznarkose,

I can also help as a coach. I have coaching experience with RailsGirls and Hackership and I gave two Git talks/workshops for Hackership.

Cheers,
Stefan

Wow, nice to get three supporting replys immediately :slight_smile:

Ellen from the Learner Meetup told me that Git Workshops took place at OTS but I did not know about the great learning Material. Cool, I was actually thinking about something like that!
I had two afternoons in mind, to have time for diving a little bit deeper into Git, one afternoon feels very little and c’mon it is a complex, important and interessting subject.
For the date I would suggest to wait for more potential Coaches showing up and then try to get it set.

Cheers Max

@zormit cool, of course!

This sounds fun, I would gladly help coach. I should be free most weekends in March.

Ok, so I come up with this suggestion:

The Git Workshop will take place 21. March with an optional second day the 22. March (we can discuss this later). I will search for an appropriate space, if anyone has any Ideas please let me know. What do the Coaches think about an preparation Meeting on the 7. March?

@netznarkose We have a spreadsheet for all venues which have ever been offered to OTS Berlin. You should be able to access it if you are a team.berlin@ member — if not, feel free to ping me or team.tech@.

@netznarkose sounds good to me

14

@netznarkose 21. or 22. of March would be fine for me. I want to do only one day though.

15

So, do we meet today?

16

NO, NOT TODAY - since nobody reacted on this proposal!
But perhaps we arrange such a preperation-meeting in the week before the workshop or we meet a earlier on the the same day, what do you think? any suggestions are welcome!!!

Ok, the Git Workshop comes true, here the hard Facts:

  • The Git Workshop will take place at co.up http://co-up.de 5.th Floor Saturday 3.21.2015 at 1 AM.
  • The Coaches meet there two hours earlier 11 PM to prepare the Workshop.
  • We orientate ourselves on the Learning Resource from Open Tech School https://opentechschool.github.io/social-coding.
  • The Coaches so far are:
    mamhoff
    stefanwille
    orangejulius
    zormit

Can the Coaches give me a short reply if they can make it?

Regards Max

Hi Max, good plan. I will be there. How long will the workshop itself take, do you have an idea?
Do you have an idea for lunch, or should we just bring something?

Best regards,
Stefan

I just announced the Git workshop on meetup.com
=> http://www.meetup.com/opentechschool-berlin/events/221125319/
@zormit & @orangejulius I couldn’t add you as event-hosts probably because you have no OTS-Admin-Acoounts but feel represented anyway.
I limited the number of Attendies to 20, if the demand exceeds this by far we can discuss an increase.
Perhaps we schedule the Workshop more or less until 7 with a decent break so people go and bye themselves sth. for lunch, I dont know, better ideas?

Awesome that we have a date. I’ll be there to coach :slight_smile:
