Summary

This PR updates the dev-days repository by adding event kit materials for community organizers running Dev Days events globally. It standardizes the event name to "Dev Days" (replacing "GitHub Copilot Dev Days"), adds community governance files, and introduces structured resources to help organizers plan, promote, and run events.


What's Changed

🏷️ Event Naming Standardization

  • Renamed the project from "GitHub Copilot Dev Days" to "Dev Days" throughout all content and documentation.

📄 Root README Rewrite

  • Repositioned the landing page to reflect Dev Days as a global, community-led event series running September 1st – October 31st, 2026.
  • Replaced the workshop table with a resource navigation table linking to the new organization/, content/, and marketing/ folders.
  • Added sections covering event formats (sessions-only vs. sessions + workshop), how to find or host an event, and support/Q&A channels.
  • Removed the old local development setup instructions.
  • Added a Trademarks section per Microsoft open source policy.

🗂️ New Folder Structure & Content

Folder / File Description
content/README.md Organizer-facing content guide with sample agenda, prerequisites, core session options (Copilot app vs. CLI), and workshop tracks with links
organization/README.md Comprehensive event organizer checklist covering initial planning, venue logistics, speakers/facilitators, marketing, communications, day-of execution, and post-event steps
marketing/README.md Marketing toolkit with series hashtag guidance (#DevDays) and a link to the event asset generator
marketing/draft-registration-page.md Ready-to-use registration page template with event format options, sample agenda, CoC link, location details, and a pre-publish checklist

🔒 Community & Repository Governance Files

  • CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct for repository contributors
  • CONTRIBUTING.md — Contribution guide covering bug reports, community expectations, and security disclosure process
  • EVENT_CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — GitHub Event Code of Conduct for event attendees, including harassment policy and incident reporting
  • LICENSE — MIT License (Copyright GitHub, Inc.)
  • SECURITY.md — Security policy for responsible vulnerability disclosure
  • SUPPORT.md — Support information for repository users

Why These Changes

  • Align the repository with the FY27 H1 Dev Days program scope, which focuses on community-led, in-person events rather than a self-serve workshop catalog.
  • Give community organizers a single, structured source of truth for everything needed to plan and run a Dev Days event.
  • Establish proper open source repository hygiene with governance, licensing, and security files.
  • Standardize event naming and branding across all materials.
