I'm new to github and I like to help other people with his projects that I find interesting. I know there's a lot of guides in the github place, but I think it could be nice to gather a bunch of real people's experiences.

So, I invite you to post about your first experiences in github. Whether you are a not-so-newbie or you are a heavy rock in github comunnity, I think your lines could encourage real newbies like me about entering this great open source community.
