We had our sixth meetup this past Tuesday to great success. We had 13 members show up this time and had Andrew Riley come up from Orlando to give his presentation on Intro to Git.
We also had a successful Google Hangout Broadcast of the presentation to YouTube. We may want to consider doing the presentation via Google Hangouts but possibly the entire meeting and then we can draw comments from YouTube. We had 3-4 viewers on YouTube and some discussion on the comments which was great to see.
The video recording is available at:
