 Goal: In order to prevent resource conflicts between participants, you will have your own copy of the hello-retail kinesis event stream in your account.  Once you've created it, we will begin publishing events to it on the day of the conference using a fan-out lambda function on our core stream.
 
+### Step 0: Refresh your repo
+
+This optional step is recommended to make sure you have the latest code, since we make changes often. Just do a git pull in the root of the repository:
+
+```
+git pull
+```
+
+This will download the very latest version of the project to your local machine.

 ### Step 1: Customize `private.yml`
 
 Serverless deployments often require information you may not want to check in to a public GitHub repository.  This project contains an example of such a file at `~/private.yml` in the project with the values in the correct format.  These values, needing to be specific to your deployment needs, obviously need to be modified for your circumstance.

 ### Step C: Register the kinesis source with the fanout lambda.
 ```sh
 ./fanout hook --source-arn arn:aws:kinesis:<CoreStreamAWSRegion>:<CoreStreamAWSAccountNumber>:stream/<CoreStreamName> --starting-position TRIM_HORIZON
 ```
 It may take ten minutes before the initial set of records are delivered and the local stream is truly streaming.  The local stream will get only the events that the fanout has processed since the registration was activated for the local stream.  To get the full stream, hook the kinesis stream to the fanout after all local streams have been registered and activated.

+# Setting up Slackbot to allow student registration of streams

+To facilitate the workshop, we have provided a small Serverless project which
+ provides a pair of Slack commands to hook and un-hook the student's project streams. Instructions on

+ [AWS Lambda Fanout Slackbot](https://github.com/Nordstrom/aws-lambda-fanout/tree/master/slackbot).
