Dallas Drupal Users Group
Mark Sonnabaum will presenting on Using Git for Revision Control.
Whether or not you're contributing on drupal.org, now that we've migrated from CVS, git is something you as a drupalist need to have in your toolbox. I'll go over the basics of using git, what makes it different from non-distributed version control systems (like cvs and svn), and how to use git with the new drupal.org infrastructure.
While I do plan to go into some advanced topics, this is intended for anyone who has experience with or wants to learn about a version control system.

Drupal Camp Dallas
Looking to plan around the end of May-ish, beginning of June-ish; I believe we can secure a venue at SMU (possibly Hughes-Trigg; made possible by an AllPlayers.com sponsorship).
I was hoping to strum up some interest in volunteering in planning, help, and sponsorships; particularly from anyone who has had some experience in doing this before.
Go Drupal Dallas!!!
