# How GitHub Helps Two Maintainers Serve 6,000 Learners


- **Date:** Wednesday, Sep 23, 2026
- **Time:** 15:00–15:30 (30 min)
- **Room:** Stage 2
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Learn to Cloud is a free, open-source alternative to paid cloud bootcamps. Thanks to GitHub, two maintainers with full-time jobs ship features and fixes daily across four repos to more than 6,000 learners. In this talk, we'll open up our repos and show what's actually in them: agent skills that encode our production runbooks, custom agents that review security and drive browser QA, agentic workflows that keep content current, and more. We'll show where we use AI, where we deliberately don't, and why that line matters when two people maintain everything.
