I am a bzr fan, and know both bzr and svn well. I'd love to know more about
both git (especially as combined with cogito) and mercurial (hg). I am happy
to investigate one of those and report back.
Let me translate this into something more substantial.
I use it daily, but saw that Paul expressed an interest in taking this on.
I insist that you present BZR.
My own motivation in presenting the BZR version control system was two
fold. One was my limited use of the product and the urge to do more with
it. The second motivator is cited below:
http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/resources/tutorials/bzr-intro.php
My man Kevin Cole of the Ubuntu DC LoCo has one of the finest tutorials on
BZR available anywhere, and even if he has reservations as to if the
tutorial matches the current version, I have every confidence in his
presentation.
I have already presented once this quarter, and allowing the effort of
developing a coherent presentation pass from my lips is a good thing. I
will benefit more from your presentation of BZR than I would by blundering
though Cole's presentation by proxy.
Paul, if you want to present bzr, I am happy presenting Mercurial instead. I
haven't used Mercurial yet, but am interested in learning more about it, since
it performs so much better than bzr and is more portable than git. I have a
real apprication for bzr's extensibility, though, so I hope you cover that to
some degree :)
Fantastic - I have not heard of Mercurial till this note. To know of this
is a great thing. You go ahead this meeting, I will be a heckler.
Regards,
Flint
