The session is designed especially for researchers, educators, and open education practitioners who may not see themselves as technical users of GitHub. Importantly, this is not a coding workshop and no prior GitHub expertise is required. Instead, it offers a guided and accessible way of learning how to “read” a repository critically and ask better questions about what responsible openness looks like in practice. Together, we will examine a selected repository and reflect on a set of practical and critical questions. How clearly does the repository explain its purpose? Does it support reuse through documentation and licensing? Does it make change visible over time? Are there clear pathways for participation? What barriers might non-technical educators face? And what does long-term openness require in terms of care, maintenance, and governance?
