Overview

We need to create a guide to hosting your project in Github (free), Heroku or AWS so that teams know how to host their projects.

Action Items

• Gather examples of how other projects have done, adding each example as a link in the resources section (in this case, if they are on AWS, which instance incubator or solo).
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Gather Examples" label and add the "TG: Draft Template" label
• Create a draft template, either in markdown format in this issue or a google doc in the product management google drive
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Draft Template" label and add the "TG: Create Guide" label
• Create a guide on how to use the template
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Create Guide" label and add the "TG: Review Guide" label
• Review the guide with product management communities of practice
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Review Guide" label and add the "TG: Leadership Review" label
• Present to Hack for LA leadership team for sign off
  • Once approved, remove the "TG: Leadership Review" label and add the "TG: Place Guide" label
• Possibly create an issue template on .github
  • Include link to template under resources if you add it as a template in .github
