Hey everyone,
Just a friendly reminder that this TODAY (Wednesday) is the date of our monthly Portland Drupal User Group Meeting. The topic is.... The Great Git Migration.
Here's what we've got on the agenda:
Lightning Talks by User Group All-Stars:
1. Decisions: How Drupal Chose Git (by Chris Strahl)
2. A Project Management Overview (by Melissa Anderson)
3. Critical Path Development (by Mike Prasuhn)
4. Contributed Module Development (by Michael Halstead)
5. Commit Log Theming (by Sarah Prasuhn)
6. Repository Creation (by Trevor Hardcastle)
7. Deployment (by Narayan Newton, to be confirmed)
Hands-on demonstration (20 minutes)
Follow along as we guide you through creating a sandbox project, applying for a Git account if needed, promoting a sandbox to a contributed theme or module, creating a release, and downloading the tarball or zip file.
Beginner's Workshop and Advanced Round-Table Discussion (30 minutes)
We'll split the group in two. For beginners, we'll present basic Git concepts and commands on the overhead projector, while advanced developers will convene a round-table discussion to review the finer points of strategy, rebasing, fast-forwards, submodules, and more.
Finally, here are the meeting details:
Date: Wednesday, February 9
Time: 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. (after the meeting, we head to Lucky Lab for drinks and conversation!)
Location: OpenSourcery offices (1636 NW Lovejoy St. Portland, OR 97209)
See you there,
Ben
