[wplug] [wplug-announce] July Meeting pre-announcement - presentation on distributed version control systems and Git

[Pat Barron]

Hi folks,

I've been meaning for the last couple of days to send out an 
announcement for our July meeting, which will be taking place on 
Saturday July 12th @ 2:00pm - I haven't gotten a chance to put together 
a proper wiki page for this meeting yet, but I wanted to make sure to 
get the meeting topic and date out there before any more time passed, so 
that people could reserve the time on their calendars.

For our July meeting, Charles Butler will be presenting on distributed 
version control systems and Git.  We'll have a more detailed outline of 
the presentation available on the wiki in the coming days.  The 
presentation will include practical examples of the use of Git, and if 
you bring a laptop with you (with Git installed....), you'll be able to 
follow along with the examples in real-time.

This meeting will be taking place at IBM's office on Murray Avenue in 
Squirrel Hill; I'll have the exact address and directions on the wiki 
soon.  The meeting location is convenient to public transportation, and 
on-street and paid parking lot parking is readily available in the 
area.  There will be an Eventbrite RSVP which you can optionally 
complete to let us know you're coming, but RSVP is not mandatory, it's 
fine to just show up - with one exception....  If you want WiFi access 
at the meeting site, you *must* complete the RSVP at least 24 hours in 
advance of the meeting - the meeting site has guest WiFi access 
available, but access is secured, and everyone using the WiFi must be 
registered for an individual username and password.  Registration for 
WiFi access will not be available on-site, you must register in 
advance.  (Well, I mean, I can *try* to register you on site, but the 
registrations sometimes take a few hours to go through the system, so 
it's possible the meeting could be over by the time your access gets 
activated....)

There will be more information, and a link to a meeting announcement and 
presentation outline on the wiki, soon.

--Pat.
