Open Source Comes to Campus/Curriculum/Git

Practicing Git is an activity we've designed to give attendees hands-on experience contributing to projects using git/github.

Current Version
In an ideal world, attendees work in small groups with an instructor to make changes to a github repository. You can see an example repository here, which makes this site.

Instructions for:
 * Students
 * Instructors
 * Activity organizer (setting up the projects)

Eventually, there will be a video screencast of the activity right here. But not yet!

(There is also a version of the activity for when there's only one mentor comfortable teaching git.)

Ideas for Improvement

 * Improve the instructor guide to make it more thorough.
 * Make the activity less completely a toy/throw-away activity (somehow).
