Need write access to upload pdf icons

@mgelbart

Could you give me write access so I could upload the new pdf icons? Thanks.

Currently they're located here: https://github.com/UBC-MDS/rubrics/tree/master/rubric/icon
with the suffix _pdf.png

filename suggestion

In your filename suggestion, I think you can go a step further in organising naming and put a more general term talk forward. There is a similar practice variables, eg putting member_a and member_b.

The filenames in consideration could be:

fig01_talk-scatterplot-length-vs-interest.png
fig02_talk-histogram-attendance.png

link to website, announce applications are open, etc

edit the publicly available README to indicate our new and glorious status
