[Brad Sawatzky]

We've had some requests for remote access to the Git seminar at JLab on
Tuesday.  Feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested.

Audio will be provided using ReadyTalk:
  Dial-In information:
    U.S. & Canada:    866.740.1260
    Access Code:      2836069

We'll have EVO running for screen sharing.  Audio may work under EVO,
but I wouldn't count on it.
  Title:          Git Talk at JLab
  Community:      Universe

Please be sure to mute your microphones/telephones to avoid distractions
during the talk.  You are more then welcome to participate in the
questions at the end though!

> Jeff has been one of the top 10 (5?) developers of the Git version

> to work on Git full-time.
> 
> The focus of the talk will be about Git, how it differs from centralized
> systems like CVS/SVN, and how to take advantage of Git's many unique
> features.  (I'm sure he'd be happy to talk about GitHub if someone asks,
> but that won't be part of the presentation.)
> 
> I'll work on getting EVO up and running too.  Instructions will go out
> when I've got them.
> 
> Jeff will also be around in the afternoon to meet one-on-one with some
> of our developers and interested staff to answer any questions we might
> want to throw at him.  These meetings will be fairly informal and will
> be in B101 at 1:30pm.
