MHVLUG is proud to announce our January 2010 meeting: .... Git Git [1] is one of the leading distributed source code control systems. Originally developed to specifically help with workflows in the Linux kernel, git has seen rapid acceptance on a number of other projects due to it's flexibility and speed. Git takes a bit of education to use effectively, which this talk will hopefully provide.
The talk will cover some of the history of source code management to provide some context, then jump right into git workflows. The goal of the meeting is to have everyone feel comfortable with basic git commands by the end of the meeting, and hopefully introduce you to some of the more interesting and major features in git. This meeting will be streamed live on ustream on the MHVLUG channel for those members of our community that can't attend the meetings directly. .... Lightning Talks * Matthias Johnson - iCloud [2] * Sean Dague - the new mhvlug.org Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks (up to 3), each 10 minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have posted their talk subject to the website in advance have priority. Time permitting, we'll also take impromptu lightning talks from the floor. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30 to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. The meeting will take place at Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium on Wednesday, January 6th at 6 pm. All meetings are *free* and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! After each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner [3] on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed.
