Hi,
I have not used github in that context and hence will not be the best person to guide.
As you are already aware, github is not technology specific - in fact in github's educational vids, they explicitly mention that any 'knowledge worker' can benefit [where a knowledge worker is any person who makes use of a computer]
I understand that your suggestions are aimed at making talk more inclined towards the overall theme - but I guess there's no harm in having a github training session as I'm sure not a lot of people may have started of with github, at least not the newcomers.
The final decision is in the organizers hands - please let me know
regards

Like I mentioned if you can pleas eamend the Talk title to "How to use Github for Newbies" .
It makes hardly any sense to have a talk on "github for newbies" for Arduino day. It would be more useful if you rather have "Arduino Developer's Introduction to Github" where you cover github introduction to begin with but also address scenarios that hardware developers are more likely to face e.g. we taught a friend how to store his KiCad source files on github since it's a XML format and can be diff'd and we were supposed to use git hooks to run a process to convert each build to a final PDF output which can be shared to the end user. Thus, it will be more helpful if you can address more specific issues that Arduino Developers will face than just a github introduction. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
