On: The GitHub Developer Program

I really don't understand this. I would like to subscribe, but I can't because only the organizations I'm part of but not admin of are paying...

[pavanky → byroot]

Can you not be added to a team of the said organization ? Or is it that github is not allowing team members of organizations to participate ?

[torpy → pavanky]

It looks that way, I'm on the owners team of a paid organisation and can't sign up.

[unfunco → torpy]

You cannot sign up as an individual, your organisation (since it's on a paid plan) will be able to sign up though.

I was able to sign up without a paid plan, but perhaps that's because I've got a student account (comes with free private repos).

[dbpatterson → Blahah]

That means you are on a paid plan, but have a discount applied (which happens to be the cost of the lowest plan).

No conspiracy theorist has yet claimed that github posted this on HN to get people to pay for a plan, right? :D
