Shawn will introduce the Git version control system by explaining why it's a great tool to use for your individual projects and discussing why Drupal.org is moving from CVS to Git.
Whether you are new to version control or you are well versed in another tool such as CVS or SVN, this talk will bring you up to speed on why a distributed version control system such as Git is right for your projects.
Shawn is a developer at Affinity Bridge where he has let Git manage his code for over a year so he can focus on more interesting problems.
Please RSVP if you'd like to join us. http://www.meetup.com/surrey-drupal/calendar/14698917/
NOTE: There's no cost for this event, however it would be great if you can come prepared to order something (some of us order dinner, some just drinks) along with a 15% gratuity as we really want to keep up a good relationship with ABC as they've been great in allowing us to book their conference room.

Well done Shawn
Great talk last night Shawn, really nice walk-through of how to install and use Git. Thanks, it helped a lot and today I will set up my first git repo to work on some modifications I have to make to a custom module.
