[EdLUG] Hacktoberfest

[Paul Broadwith]

We will be doing a Hacktoberfest event this year in Glasgow. I have a talk
I normally give, Git Fundamentals (see https://sessionize.com/pauby - I'm
on my phone so don't have the direct link) and then work with the attendees
on the git side of things. I'm a PowerShell person so can help with that as
well.

Kind regards,

Paul
