+This section contains information that may be useful for running a hackathon
+
+For example, for introduction to open source and using git a script could consist of:
+
+
+Who has used github before?
+Yes - then lets assigned you an issue now, and you can get started. Let us know if any questions
+      Go through the issues and assign those who want to just get started.
+No - then we need to get you set up with an SSH key in Rstudio so that Rstudio & Github can talk together
+
+Follow the document in CAMIS/non_website_content/hackathon/  folder to set things up.
+
+Ensure you have started a New Project in R studio - pointing to the CAMIS repo.
+
+Show them that they can:
+1) Fork any repo -- clones the folder -- branch the repo, edit in R studio & push.
+   Submit a pull request for your work to be included.
+or
+2) Give us your user name, we will add you as a CAMIS contributor, which gives you additional rights
+   We add you to the project, then you can assign yourself to issues
+   You can then create a branch from the main branch in R studio - do edits & push back.
+   You can also edit directly in github and submit a pull request (PR)
+
+Reminder re: Main branch, or your branch: Pull down before doing changes each time to minimize conflicts.
+Do edits & push back, then you have to go into R studio to complete the PR.
+
+Go through issues & assign to people
+
+Any issues they can share their screen and we can help them.
