[Air-L] Non-software uses of GitHub

[Célya Gruson-Daniel]

Hello, 

Here are some other uses of Github (but also other free and open source platforms as Gitlab and Framagit) . 


Collaborative teaching : 
We are developing programmation with Python courses <https://github.com/HackYourPhd/ateliers-open-geek> with the HackYourPhD organizations (workshops similar to software carpentry mentioned earlier but in french with a special focus on research examples in neurosciences but also social sciences). Often, several mentors of one session are working together to develop the syllabus. 

Hackathon/ Data sprints and data sciences projects organization : 
we have used the framagit platform (based on Gitlab which is open source compared to Github) for several events  : an hackathon <https://framagit.org/c24b/republique-numerique> organized to analyse the data of a french consultation on the "Digital republic » law  then during data sprints/ data sciences projects with students in social sciences.

Presentations with Gitpitch  : 
I have also used Gitpitch on Github to create presentations online and work on it in a collaborative way with the co-speakers. Two examples here <https://github.com/Celyagd/ODS> and here <https://github.com/Celyagd/S2_hack>

And it is  possible to create you own website or a website for and organizations with the GitHub pages. 

And I would be interested in a summary of your findings. Thanks ! 

Best

Célya

So far, we have found a few books being written, some musical transcriptions being error-checked, and some policy documents maintained online.

> Does anyone know of any examples of these or other categories?  Any pointers much appreciated. Happy to share what we find with anyone interested.
