Git Migration Status Update
My first official issue as the new project manager for the Git Migration was to write the Status Update. I began by trying to summarize the complex, technical history of the project, but I've come to realize that most of the history is already documented. If you're interested in where the migration team has been, check out the Detailed Background at the end of this post.
Meanwhile, here’s the update I think people are really looking for:

---Derek hasn't been available to do his part so our sprint plan is up in the air
--Angie will miss the next call, we need a skype master
Sam

---Additional views planning with tizzo
---covered some of the additional stuff
---working on operations to commit migration
Best way to provide a copy of drupal.org for testing?
An issue has been opened at http://drupal.org/node/967396 to decide the best way to provide an appropriate environment for testers of the various Git Migration components. If you're able to help with some deep-level testing, now is the time to provide feedback about what you need.

Git Sprint 4 began yesterday, November 8. Tasks identified for the sprint are available at http://bit.ly/cOFmC5
Release-worthy views for Version Control API and for Git activity logs will be demonstrated at the Deliverables Demo on Friday, November 19 at noon PST.
To attend the virtual demo, please use the signup tab for this event. Given the disappointing experience with yuuguu voice, we'll be trying an alternate approach for Sprint 4. Details will be posted on Monday, November 15.
Read moreHow to help at versioncontrol* modules
Introduction
versioncontrol* modules is the family of modules that expose to drupal a way to interact with version control systems.
This is an incomplete list of the versioncontrol* modules, but these are the related ones with the git migration:
Please notice that versioncontrol module depends on other modules, so help at that modules would also help:

Apologies for the reposts
Sorry to those of you who may have been spammed with copies of a recent comment I made to this group. I made some tweaks to the syntax after posting without realizing that the Groups notification/subscription system tracks these.

Git Migration Sprint Structure
The Git Migration uses two-week sprint structure based on Agile software development principles. As team members change from sprint to sprint, the structure will remain the same and is posted here so new participants know what to expect.

We're looking for feedback on dww's proposal to ditch the ability to have release nodes pointing to HEAD/master.
The full background and proposal are at http://drupal.org/node/953916, and that's where feedback should go, too!
To decide if it's relevant to you, though, the proposal text follows:

Git Migration Sprint 3, VC API, Its Admin Interface, and Migration Script Finalization begins today. A big thanks to all the people stepping up to help! This is a big one. A complete list of the issues identified for the sprint is available at http://bit.ly/cuVrvA
Until now, work has largely been under-the-hood. This sprint will end with an on-line demonstration of the Version Control API administrative interface and highlights of the improvements from the migration script work. If you're interested in attending, please sign up. Anyone is welcome.

Post on the history & future vision for Version Control API
I've just written up a long post on Version Control API, which is at the center of the git migration. Lots of history, software architecture musings, as well as our plans for the future to finish up VCAPI. Which needs to happen to finish the migration :) Feedback is absolutely welcome, though I'm also kinda hoping that the post provides enough information to maybe reel in a few new volunteers to help us on the home stretch :)

Git Migration Sprint 2, Version Control API, is underway.
Sprints last two weeks with check-ins beginning at noon Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week. The first call is one hour and sets the sprint focus. The next five calls are half-hour stand-ups, where sdboyer will run through the work accomplished since the last call, identify blockers, and give other updates, followed by others whose work is a part of the sprint. The final Friday of the sprint is a demonstration of the work accomplished.

Wanted: Git training everywhere!
Are you git-aware? Are you going to a Drupalcamp or local meetup? Do you want to be a Drupal-superhero?
Plan and deliver a session on the git migration and how to adapt to it!
Need some materials?
- The Git fundamentals session from Drupalcon Copenhagen now has video up. You can use that format if you want.
- A presentation for people with no VCS background is available for you to use or clone (or give me a yell and I'll add you as editor)
- A presentation for people familiar with other VCS systems (SVN/CVS/whatever) is also available, same thing - clone it, get edit privs and improve it, whatever works for you
We'd love to have have everybody that understands what's happening help everybody who doesn't understand what's happening. Come on in!

Call to action: Test your projects on git.drupal.org!
We reached a major milestone just before Drupalcon Copenhagen. In preparation for the Git Fundamentals session, read-only access to all contents of CVS (apart from sandboxes) are now live on git.drupal.org!
Read moreGit Repository Structure
As a follow-up to our branching and tag name changes announcement, we've now established the formal structure for Drupal.org's Git repositories! Instead of having projects sub-divided as /drupal, /contributions/modules, /contributions/themes, and so on as we currently do at http://cvs.drupal.org/, projects are now located in the "root" namespace (all in the same top-level directory).
