Dear breakout attendees, please introduce yourself via a GITHUB_USERNAME.json file under the [_data/{{ site.current_term }}/](https://github.com/advanced-js/students/tree/gh-pages/_data/{{ site.current_term }}) directory, and submit via pull request. Here's an example:
// _data/{{ site.current_term }}/afeld.json
{
"emoji": "dancer",
"introduction": "Developer at 18F by day, dancer by night."
}Using the format above, replace with your own emoji (choose from this list) and introduction.
The details of how this works (using Jekyll data files) are beyond the scope of this boot camp, but provides a simple satisfying example for applying the fork & pull request model to a repository for which you do not have write permissions and want to contribute towards.
This technique is borrowed from advanced-js/students: "student directory, for practicing doing pull requests".
