Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] Collaborating using GitLab 
Hi Tobie,
I will attend the session (tonight or tomorrow), but please do not ask me to become familiar with GitLab as I do not have any kind of technical background and when I have tried to contribute to LibreOffice a senior developer had to work hard to revert the mess I created.
The ORC WG is about creating a cybersecurity standard for open source software, and you do not need to be a developer to contribute. I have a solid experience about standardization process, and I manage standard related issues on a regular basis (but to do this I do not have to make any commit).
Believe me, even if you find software such as GitHub or GitLab trivial, there are people who were born in the analog world and completely miss a clue about development. I am regularly contributing to books in GitHub, but after developers have realized the mess I can create with a basic commit there is one of them doing the job for me.
Sorry, but going though a technical workflow is a bug of projects driven by technical people. I am a Software Heritage Ambassador, and I had the same issue with them, as they accepted contributions only via GitHub. Today, they have changed and accept text based contributions.
So, I will attend the session as a watcher, as I want to understand how the process works, but no hands-on for me. 

Best regards, Italo

    Hi all,

    Thanks to all of you who replied to the Doodle poll.

    I'll be running three sessions this week on collaborating using GitLab:

      * *Tuesday, August 13 @ 11am CEST*
      * *Tuesday, August 13 @ 9 pm CEST*
      * *Wednesday, August 14 @ 5 pm CEST*

    I've added those sessions to the community calendar
    <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=c_7db8e3f13c4fac984103918a97c704bb1d619da0fdb66d33f1747849b6020aea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

    These will be hands-on, one hour sessions to get you up to speed on
    using GitLab for effective collaboration within the ORC WG. During
    this session you will:

      * Set up your Eclipse account
      * Learn Git, GitLab, and markdown basics
      * Join ORC WG's GitLab project
      * Create your first issue
      * Create your first merge request (= pull request)
      * Review someone's merge request
      * Merge your first commit

    *What to *_prepare_*for the session:*

      * Read the Eclipse Foundation's CLA:
        https://www.eclipse.org/legal/eca/
        <https://www.eclipse.org/legal/eca/>
      * Write down a question about the CRA you'd like to add to the FAQ
        (we'll use this in our exercises)

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Best,

    --tobie
