E51: Create a GitHub organization and home page

To provide infrastructure for your final project development, your team should create a GitHub Organization.

First, your team should come up with a name for your organization. It must be a name not used by any other GitHub organization. Be sure it’s a name that you wouldn’t mind future employers seeing.

Second, one member of your team should create the organization, and invite all of the other team members as owners. Create the organization in all lower case.

Third, create the home page for this organization. Let’s say your organization is called “campusjams”. One member of your organization should create a repo called “campusjams.github.io”. All that you need in that repo is a README.md in the master branch of that repo, and a subdirectory in which you store screen images. Follow the instructions for creating a GitHub Organization Page. I suggest you use the Automatic Page Generator in which you simply load the README.md file as the content to be used to generate the organization home page.

In the case of the hypothetical campusjams organization, when you are done with creating the home page, it should be accessible at https://campusjams.github.io.

The home page for your organization should evolve over time to reflect the most recent state of your project. To begin with, the home page should provide a good description of the goals of the project, what the system should eventually provide, and screen shots of the mockup pages you plan to use as a basis for your final project (these can be a mixture of mockups from team members).

Submission instructions

By the time and date listed in the Schedule page, you should submit the URL to your organization home page to Laulima. Each member of the team should submit the same URL, but every team member should do so in order to receive credit.
