Add "How to Participate in a GitHub Workshop, Resume Writing, and Roundtable Discussion" section to Portland 2026 Writing Day page

[Copilot]

Writing Day 2026 introduces shorter-format activities alongside traditional projects; the page lacked a dedicated section explaining how to participate in these new offerings.

Changes

• New ## How to Participate in a GitHub Workshop, Resume Writing, and Roundtable Discussion section inserted directly above the existing ## How to Participate in a Writing Day Project section in docs/conf/portland/2026/writing-day.md
  • Two-sentence intro framing this as a new offering to expand attendee participation options
  • ### GitHub Workshops — one-hour beginner-friendly sessions at 9:30am and 2:00pm, featuring a 20-minute presentation walkthrough (account signup + hands-on example) and 1-on-1 volunteer TA support
  • ### Resume Writing and Portfolio Review — 1-on-1 review and feedback session with fellow documentarians
  • ### Roundtable Discussions — pre-scheduled, afternoon-only facilitated conversations held in the Show Bar, covering topics such as AI in documentation and API docs

Original prompt

"Directly above the How to Participate in a Writing Day Project section, add a How to Participate in a GitHub Workshop, Resume Writing, and Roundtable Discussion. Add two sentence underneath the header that includes this is a new offering to create more ways for attendees to participate. Underneath this is subsections with GitHub Workshops, Resume Writing and Portfolio Review and Roundtable Discussions. Each subsection will include 1-2 sentences of information.

This is definitely mid. Copilot definitely less magical for writing copy :-)
