What’s this?

It’s a place to store documents for Free Geek Twin Cities – primarily work-in-progress stuff, since anything polished or public should nominally be at http://freegeektwincities.org

How to contribute

1. Get a GitHub account: https://github.com/signup/free
2. Ask someone with admin access (as of March 2011, that’d be Brian) to give you permissions

Then, either do things the easy, automated way:

1. If you’re using a version of Ubuntu prior to 12.04 (including our standard, 10.04), add the sparkleshare ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:warp10/sparkleshare
2. Install SparkleShare (sudo apt-get install sparkleshare)
3. Add FreeGeekTwinCities/FGTC_Docs as a remote folder

Or the command-line way:

1. Check out a copy of the docs (e.g. shell:git clone git@github.com:FreeGeekTwinCities/FGTC_Docs.git)
2. Make your changes (since much of the documents are in org-mode format, you’ll get some extra assistance by editing with it installed – shell:apt-get install org-mode in Ubuntu or Debian)
3. Commit & push (for more help using git, try Everyday Git or Git for Designers)

Note that, if you don’t care to upload changes, you can always just do step #3 above…
