When, where, what
As usual, the meetup will take place on the third Monday of the month, this time on the 21st of May. We begin at 19:00.
We will be at Tarent's offices in Bonn-Duisdorf (PDF with instructions for getting there).
- Xing event (unfortunately it is already booked out, but some places might free up as we get closer to the date, so check back regularly)
- Mailing list discussion
Topic this time is the distributed revision control system Git. I'll give a rough intro to what it is, how it works and how to use it, and then we'll discuss ideas, experiences, and so on.
Homework
If you have no experience with Git, it would be cool if you try installing it and play around a little, just to get a feel for it and what kind of questions you'd like to ask during the talk.
Want to sponsor some Git knowledge?
If you are a company, and you want to inspire some book reading in the Bonn Agile community, it would be awesome if you buy and bring a few Git books to hand out the event. Either I can use them as rewards for good questions, or we just hand them out at random. Feel free to stick some company fliers or business cards inside the books, or write a greeting inside the cover!Here are some German Git books:
While I'm at it: Call for talks, lightning talks and topics for discussion
We are continuously looking for speakers that can provide material for discussion at the meetups. We accept any kinds of longer talks, lightning talks and discussion formats!
- Do you have experience with a practice or a tool, and you'd like to share with the community?
- Is there a new technology, trend or hype you would like to discuss at the meetup?
- Do you know some agile coach or guru in the vicinity that might come by to do a talk for us?
It doesn't have to be fancy, or too extensive, as we are a small and informal group. So if you got any ideas for a meetup, write it into the idea wiki page, send an email to bonnagile@googlegroups.com, or mail me directly on tfnico@gmail.com.
