Do not modify README.md directly: it will be autogenerated. To add your name to this list, you need to add another object to the people array in people.json and send a pull request. See schema.json for the information about the JSON schema.

If you have no idea how all this works, you can simply send me your information by email, and I'll add you to the list myself with pleasure.

Warning: only add yourself to this list!

Simply create a pull request by removing your people definition from people.json. As for adding yourself to the list if you are not a technical person, just send me an email and I'll do it for you.

The idea of a coffee chat resource list is coming from Julien Lengrand-Lambert..
