Quick tutorial on adding files to GitHub repos you don't own
Please add your supporting materials for your session in a single file in a subfolder of the "talks" folder. Ideally with no spaces in the filename.
/talks/your-session-title/your-session-title.pdf
If you'd rather link to your files somewhere else, just add a README with links instead:
/talks/your-session-title/README.md
Then update the list above with a link to your file (or README) in your talk folder, in alphabetical order if you can. Even if you just include your file, feel free to add a README with your contact info, etc. in the folder as well.
Thanks!
