• GitHub is the biggest online platform for open source software projects in the world.

• Its toolset, including issue management, contribution tracking and code review, is free for open source projects.

• GitHub provides a sustainable home for our projects. If the OPF were to cease to exist, our projects would continue to be available.

Why Should You Use GitHub

GitHub is a great way to get involved in open source software development. It's used by thousands of projects and millions of developers. It's a great way to learn about software development and to build your skills. It's also a way to show off your skills as your work is attributed to you on a public platform.

What if I Can't Use GitHub?

If you really can't use GitHub, but want to contribute to the Hackathon, please get in touch with us on info@openpreservation.org and we'll see what we can do.

We look forward to working and learning with you. We’ll also be listening to you and will cover ad-hoc topics if there is enough interest among the attendees.
