I'm happy to walk through a case study about AWS autoscaling infastructure if folks would be interested.

Looking forward to meeting y'all at my very first Seattle meeting.
Learning GIT
I'm starting a new project that requires Git, which I've never used before. I'm excited about learning it, since it's a great tool and will let me work on bigger projects. Anyone interested in giving a presentation on Git? Or perhaps a series of presentations (beginner, intermediate, then advanced)?
I'd be happy to do a quick
I'd be happy to do a quick walk through on SourceTree. Its a great Git program that lets you manage your repos with all the pointy clicky goodness. It also integrates with Bitbucket which makes it dead simple to clone and update a repo.
SourceTree alternatives for Linux
SourceTree is for Windows and Mac

Ha ha. Thanks for the links, John.

I'd like to hear about alternatives to SourceTree. I've been playing with Ubuntu again and would like to setup a similar dev environment I have on my macbook.
Yeah, I'd be happy to
Yeah, I'd be happy to contribute here, too (though in a completely unorgnized way at this point :) ). Maybe talking about some Git workflow options.
Overview vs details
While I'd like to learn about Sourcetree, at this early point I'm also interested in the conceptual underpinnings of Git. For example, when/why do you create branches? How do you keep your branches and merges straight, i.e. how do you know what's going on in a branch? How do you update a live site where changes are being made to the database all the time if you're working on a local version of the site and make changes to the database as well?
Agenda items
I think a discussion about Git, along with a walk-through of SourceTree, sounds good. Andy, are you still interested in doing a case study about AWS autoscaling infrastructure?
If there's time, I can talk about easy ways to extend core Drupal functionality by adding things like field formatters and view modes.

Wiki Notes from 1/15/2015 meeting - add yours
Feel free to add your notes to mine from the Jan-15 meeting on Git topic
Wiki topic:
Code/DB/Files Configuration Management + Git notes
There were a lot of simultaneous discussion that I couldn't follow.
I focused my attention on Chris' presentation on config tools and Git branching.
I added resources for learning Git and using Drush for synchronization of files and databases.
