the repo behind the repos

Please create a Github Issue on this repository for anything related to BeerJS generally, for example, to ask for the creation of a new repo for your local chapter of BeerJS

We use github (this website!) to discuss things. If you're not used to that, here's a quick video intro.

Also, you can chat with us on slack!

fork a beerjs in your city

Anyone can do it- why not you? Please open an issue on this repo and clearly state:

• the github usernames of everyone who should be an admin on the repo. we find that having at least 2 is best, but if it's just you, that's fine for now.
• the name of the repo. this becomes the url slug, eg beerjs/foo. if your city has a short name, like an airport code, that's fine. whatever you like that's still recognizable as your city.
• bonus: gifs or emoji are always welcome

Once you have a repo created, encourage people in your town to "watch" the repo to subscribe to notifications for issues on github. Issues are a great way to propose, plan, and remind people of upcoming events. Filling out a readme, description, and optional URL to your repo will help people know what's going on and want to come to your cool event. Feel free to borrow text and formatting from other beer.js repos.

a great way is to open an issue, or browse through some of the repos from other cities to see what they're up to.
