Patchwork
Patchwork nights are hands-on learning Git and GitHub nights, made especially for people new to it all. You'll leave with a pull request on an open source project merged and green squares on your contribution graph!
If you want to help mentor future open sourcers, this night is for you, too. You and GitHubbers (including in-town for a limited time only @muan, @mikemcquaid and @michaeltwofish!) will help attendees with questions throughout the workshop. If you have been to a Patchwork night before, you're ready to mentor, and we'd love to see you again!
Kicking things up a notch, we'll have GitHub's @alysonla give a talk about getting started in open source on GitHub. There will be food, drinks and lots of folks to meet.
Also, no coding experience required! Once registered an email with more details will go out prior to the event.
6pm - 9pm at GitHub HQ

Code of Conduct
Patchwork is a community event intended for education, networking and collaboration.
We value the participation of each member of the GitHub community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout all GitHub-sponsored events.
To make clear what is expected, all delegates/attendees, speakers, exhibitors, organizers and volunteers at any GitHub event are required to conform to the following Code of Conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.
The Short Version
GitHub is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form.
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any presentation given at a GitHub event.
Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate at a GitHub event.
Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event at the sole discretion of the event managers.
Thank you for helping to make this a welcoming, friendly space for all.
The Longer Version
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you. Offensive jokes are not appropriate and will not be tolerated under any circumstance at GitHub events.
If a participant engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event or conference with no refund.
Contact Information
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a GitHub employee or security officer. You can contact Kelsey Schimmelman, the on site events manager, at any time by texting or calling 925-640-8065.
GitHubbers will be happy to help participants contact security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.
