Like the joke about the nanotechnology company that was so successful, 
they had to move into smaller premises. ;-)

Github is a product for people to work together online. So if anyone is 
going to not need an office it makes sense it would be them.

The ANU students use Github routinely for their group projects. They did 
this before COVID-19, and then switched to using videoconferencing in 
pace of the face to face component. I like the way you can have an 
asynchronous text based conversation in Github, switch to syncronous 
video, using text in support, then back to asynchronous after.

I have used it to help organize GovHack, and other events, with people I 
have never seen face to face. By the way GitHub are looking for a 
government/education liaison, as I will be a bit busy teaching this year.
