git workshop in Sweden/Denmark

git workshop in Sweden/Denmark

[nadim khemir]

Hi,

Lund.pm and Data-foreningen are trying to organize a 'git' workshop.

The workshop will consist of a presentation in the morning followed by a lunch 
in a local restaurant and a workshop after lunch.

We already have a location where the workshop will take place.  Most probably 
a Saturday to allow as many people as possible to join us. The location is in 
Malmö the biggest town in the south of Sweden and only 30mn by train from 
Copenhagen capital of Danmark. We, of course, welcome people from other places 
too.

We are already working on securing one or two speakers that will enlighten us. 

I would like the git community to help us with:

- has a git workshop already been organized?
        is there material that we could get?
        any conference organization existing (something like YAPC)?

- what's the interrest? I'm sure I can get 30 ppl to join but if there is 
interrest we can organize something bigger.

- Can you be :
        - a speaker
        - a sponsor

- If you come, what would you like to learn, discuss?

Cheers, Nadim.

PS: there's a lot of interrest for git in the Perl community right now and 
rumors has it that Perl itself is going over to git. Next year YAPC in 
Portugal would be a great opportunity to present git in depth to perl 
developers. If someone is interrested, please let me know.

Great, but some people may have exhausted their git available time with 
GitTogether'08 (see below).

There was GitTogether'08 one month ago, see:

http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitTogether

Some material is available from the "Speakers" section of the page.
Other material may be available from the wiki (perhaps 
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitLinks).

But there is no conference organization.

Regards,
Christian.

I'll be there if I can.

I've been speaking enough on oss conferences this year and feel I don't
have time to spend on making slides and preparing for another conference,
but I'd love to attend and can almost certainly help out on the workshop
if needed.

I'm primarily interested in finding developers that want to integrate git
with other applications, such as IDE's. I need to know what they would
need from a git library so I can properly prioritize the different todos
for libgit2.

Helping at the workshop is even better than having a talk. This is supposed to 
be hands on to help people learn git and fix problems they have.

As you may have seen in my other mail, I will be taking over the maintenance 
of Git.pm and related perl modules. Having a Perlm module based on the 
functionality of libgit is in my plans. I've tried to follow the discussion 
around libgit (specially the re-licensing discussion) and I will certainly 
try to be actively listening to what happends there.

As for the integration in IDEs. How's the integration in Eclipse? There are 
two perl projects that may give you input. Padre and Kephra.

Cheers, Nadim
