HackyHour GitHub organization

[iimog]

Hey Amanda,

thanks for this great handbook. I just wanted to bring to your attention that I created an HackyHour organization here on GitHub. This way the nice url https://hackyhour.github.io can be used. I organize a HackyHour in Würzburg (Germany) and @aleimba is doing the same in Göttingen (Germany). So we have repos for each location (resulting in pages at https://hackyhour.github.io/Wuerzburg and https://hackyhour.github.io/Goettingen )

The idea of this organization is primarily to provide unified URLs and link to existing HackyHours. Who ever wants to can become part of the HackyHour organization and add a repository for their location. Just let me know and I'll send the invite. Alternatively I can add a link for your HackyHour to https://hackyhour.github.io no matter where it is hosted, just open an issue or pr at https://github.com/HackyHour/HackyHour.github.io

If you want to you can add this info to your handbook.

Best regards,
Markus

Excellent, a reference sounds lovely. A github tag or collaborative organisation could work well- I'm very keen to share resources or lessons learnt. A few of us Australian QLD and Au/NZ hacky hours are in touch here and I hoped to get the ball rolling with this handbook.

Nice, thanks for the pull request. Looking forward to some networking and exchange with other HackyHours 😃

Hey Markus

I started a google group of hacky hour coordinators if you would like to join- for coordinators to share useful resources and have conversations on what works well for hacky hours.
