This will be my first time
This will be my first time attending so apologies if I suggest anything that's been covered before. Although I'm not qualified to speak, a couple of things I'd be interested in hearing about:
• Creating and managing your own distributions (features, Drush)
• If anyone had used any sort of responsive theme, working with that
Looking forward to it
I've been learning a lot about automated builds lately so I could talk a little about that.
Sounds good
I'll pencil you in for that talk then.
I can go over some Drush and Features stuff too.

I've suddenly found myself
I've suddenly found myself working in Edinburgh! I don't think I'll get to the venue before 7 (maybe a bit later) but I can still do a talk if that's not going to be too late.
A serendipitous snip
I haven't had quite the sort of personal epiphany that the previous subject line suggests, but it did make me chuckle.
Setting up git for Drupal
Thanks to Paul's talk at Drupal Drinks: Glasgow I am now up and running with git. The installation and configuration process was quite involved. I wrote a step by step guide as I went through setting it up. I was doing it all on Windows so some steps would be different for Linux/MacOS.
I can e-mail it to people, let me know if you want a copy. Another alternative is that I could post it as a node on the Drupal Scotland community. I'm not sure what the protocol would be for doing this.
Cheers,
Michael
Why don't you post it as a
Why don't you post it as a wiki article? Not only would that help others,you may find that other contributors could turn it into a comprehensive reference.
OK, so I've posted what I
OK, so I've posted what I wrote as a wiki here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/256628
One problem with what I have posted that I cannot work out how to fix is that asterisks have been removed from the .gitignore file.
It should read:
# Ignore configuration files that may contain sensitive information.
sites/[asterisk]/settings[asterisk].php
# Ignore paths that contain user-generated content.
sites/[asterisk]/files
sites/[asterisk]/private
Could someone please fix this if they know how?
Another issue is that my web host installed git for with one click. It would be good to have a description of how to do this if your web host doesn't offer this feature.
