After everyone settled down (a few got a wee bit lost finding the venue, but got here safe and sound). One thing I noticed that maybe there would be a need to run another basic command line workshop. For those interested, I ran one recently and here's the write-up about it.
The mentors went around helping with people having problems with machines or the just general Git queries, but mostly everyone followed the workshop.
After a short break, we start to get even more interactive with the hellogitworld repository from https://github.com/githubteacher?tab=repositories.
All in all, it was a fun and interesting experience. It was a first of many for participants, mentors and myself in collaborating with a trainer virtually.
