Event Information (passed)

Date: -
GitHub OctoCat

Due to a recent change in licensing terms, GitHub Education service (github.uc.edu) will be discontinued Oct. 1.

NOTE: This only affects the GitHub Education service.

Students and faculty who wish to use GitHub for academic or instructional purposes after Oct. 1 can switch to the GitHub Student Developer Pack, which is free to use and has all the same features as the current service.

The GitHub Enterprise service will continue to be offered, as the contract terms for that product have not changed. Please note, however, that the Enterprise service requires paid licenses for each account and should only be used for non-academic work.

How do I prepare?

For questions or assistance, please contact the IT@UC Service Desk.

So later he did, with $200 in his pocket, and began a career that has spanned acting, directing, producing—pretty much everything with the exception of costumes (“I’m not really good with a sewing machine,” he says).
