pOn June 12, 2010, the a href=http://groups.drupal.org/la rel=nofollowLos Angeles Drupal/a user group is hosting a href=http://groups.drupal.org/node/71473 rel=nofollowGit with Drupal 7/a, a one-day event featuring both a a href=http://groups.drupal.org/la/glossary#git rel=nofollowGit/a bootcamp followed by a Drupal 7 a href=http://groups.drupal.org/la/glossary#codesprint rel=nofollowcode sprint/a. To make this event as accessible as possible, we're broadcasting the Git bootcamp via a href=https://acquiawebinars.webex.com/acquiawebinars/onstage/g.php?t=aamp;d=663242719 rel=nofollowWebEx conference/a from 10am-1pm PDT. Please join us!/p pDrupal.org is moving from using the CVS version control system to a href=http://git-scm.org rel=nofollowGit/a for the development of Drupal 8. As Drupal core development is a href=http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/git rel=nofollowmigrated to Git/a, thousands of developers will need to learn Git in order to help develop Drupal 8 as well as their own contributed modules for Drupal 7 when the contrib repository is moved to Git later this year./p pThe importance of moving to a modern version control system was outlined last year in step 5 of Dries' a href=http://buytaert.net/8-steps-for-drupal-8 rel=nofollow8 Steps to Drupal 8/a. Git was selected after a lengthy a href=http://groups.drupal.org/node/48818 rel=nofollowevaluation discussion/a, and Drupal.org's migration to Git was the subject of a href=http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/exodus-leading-drupal-out-cvs rel=nofollowThe Exodus: Leading Drupal out of CVS/a, a session at DrupalCon San Francisco earlier this year. That session was well-attended and featured members of the a href=http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-org-git-migration-team rel=nofollowDrupal.org Git Migration Team/a, including Damien Tournoud (a href=http://drupal.org/user/22211 rel=nofollowDamZ/a), Derek Wright (a href=http://drupal.org/user/46549 rel=nofollowdww/a), Angie Byron (a href=http://drupal.org/user/24967 rel=nofollowwebchick/a) and Sam Boyer (a href=http://drupal.org/user/146719 rel=nofollowsdboyer/a)./p pDuring both the bootcamp and a href=http://groups.drupal.org/node/71473 rel=nofollowcode sprint/a, we'll be gathered in the a href=http://groups.drupal.org/la/glossary#irc rel=nofollow#drupal-la IRC channel/a and all are welcome to join us. We will also be recording the git bootcamp and will post the video online soon after the event./p pa href=http://drupal.org/node/823522 target=_blankread more/a/p
