On June 13th [Matt Heusser](https://twitter.com/mheusser?ref=kenst.com) and I will be giving a talk at the Online Testing Conference on the value for testers in [contributing and using GitHub](http://www.onlinetestconf.com/sessions/github-is-for-everyone/?ref=kenst.com). Actually it will be more than just a talk, we’ll do a full demo on how to get started on GitHub by creating and contributing to a repository of your own. Then we’ll give you some ideas on how to use it going forward. (Hint: there are lots of uses besides code.)
