Can't join with GitHub due to existing Linux Foundation account

watson opened this issue · comments

The README.md tells me to join with my GitHub account, but I already have a Linux Foundation account so when I try to log in using GitHub, I'm told another account already exists with those credentials. I couldn't find a way to associate my GitHub account with my existing account.

They responded with an easy solution, that we might want to share for others who have the same issue (basically most people who attended Node Interactive and got a Linux Foundation account as a result).

  1. You first log into your existing Linux Foundation account
  2. Then you visit https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/user/me/hybridauth and authorize GitHub
  3. Finally you visit https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/pid/99 to register for membership of the Node.js Foundation
