+GitHub Onboarding
+=================
+
+Most of our documentation is hosted on GitHub, a service based on, but
+not the same as Git. To work with GitHub, an account is needed.
+
+
+How to join GitHub
+------------------
+
+1.  Go to https://github.com/ .
+
+2.  On the top right corner is a button with "sign up".
+
+3.  Enter your corporate email address and press "continue".
+
+4.  Create a strong password.
+
+5.  Enter a username e.g. johndoe
+
+6.  Would you like to receive updates? I suggest opting out with
+    entering "n".
+
+7.  Verify your account by solving the task to prove you aren't a bot.
+
+8.  Click on the "create an account" button.
+
+9.  You are almost done! GitHub just sent you a launch you that has to
+    be entered to create the account ultimately. Note: The code has to
+    be entered manually and you can't enter it via copy & paste.
+
+10. You are asked with how many people you are working with and if you
+    are a student or a teacher. This personalization can be skipped at
+    the bottom of the Website. I suggest skipping this step.
+
+11. Congratulations! You just created your GitHub account!

 Working in the Open
 ===================
 
 The Open Telekom Cloud values transparency as a main principle.
-Therefore, all public facing documentation is maintained in the
-open, by open-source components. All steps of the process are
-publicly visible and transparent. This eases the collaboration
-of our suppliers, OTC staff, and even customers or users. All
-can propose changes, all can participate in the review process,
-and each team can appoint arbitrary persons to approve changes,
-ensuring the integrity of the overall documentation. All changes
-are recorded and archived, so changes can be rolled back, and
-audit trails are available even for the tiniest change.
