Can we include the Act templates in the new YAPC-NA repo on github

[Rob Kinyon]

The biggest value is community participation and reducing barriers to that participation. I helped run 2010 and I never had access to the ACT svn. If it had been on github, I could have helped in further ways. Github already has the wiki, the issue tracker, and is where all the current work on process improvement is happening.

I'm not saying ACT has to change its process. I'm saying that github allows greater participation, and that's a "Good Thing". Robert's point about integrating with ACT is well-taken.
