Apparently, in a fit of confusion, I agreed to present a 60-minute "intro to
git" for the Portland (Oregon) Linux Advanced Topics meeting on 20 November.

Since I haven't even started it, I guess it's time to start writing.  I know
about the Documentation/* directory, but have any of you also written
tutorials or presentations on git for your organization?  If so, I'd like to
steal, I mean observe what you've done.  I will make my slides available as
well, under the GFDL or equivalent.

And Linus, if you're in town on the 20th, you should come to the meeting to
make a fool of me and give the real scoop. :) (Only half joking... if you
could make it there, it'd be a real help to me.)

  see

	http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=<7vvepqi6x6.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

and replies for some slides from OLS (dunno if jdl's made his
available?), and http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitLinks for links to plenty
of "using git" pages for various projects and other introductory
articles. There are also few crash courses at git.or.cz but they go by
the Cogito path; the general outline just with different commands might
be still somewhat useful, though. Also, someone from #git was presenting
lately and is planning on making his presentation available, too.

GitLinks has now links to junio, jdl and pasky slides from OLS,
and junio slides from OSDL Japan Linux Symposium.

This is all great.  Thank you.  And I hope to have a presentation
worthy of placing on that page within a week.

The OSDL Japan one is much more suitable for stealing tutorial
material from than the OLS one, but they took the pages on old
seminars down without telling me, it seems.  I've updated the
link in GitLinks page.  The presentation is designed to be run
in 25 minutes using the first half of slides (pretty pictures),
followed by a 25 minutes demo (reproducing the second half of
slides).

I think Martin Langhoff promised to make his presentation done
in Mexico available to us sometime ago, but I wonder what
happened to it...

Hola! You are right, I never published anything... The Mexico
presentation was a combination of your original slides (I ended up
using the PDF directly as I didn't have OOv2) plus a version of my
older talk notes, updated and in Spanish. So I swapped the two
around.... "live".

The old, outdated talk is based on Cogito, and can be found here. I
still use it for my inhouse team --

I gave this talk at Ubucon:
http://h4x0r5.com/~ryan/presentations/git-why.pdf
(I modeled this one after Junio's OLS talk, as I thought it was more
interesting to give a 'why' talk, rather than a 'magic incantation'
talk.)

Back in April, I used these to give a talk at Penguicon:

All of my git papers published in Linux Magazine as well
as my OLS presentation are available off of www.jdl.com.
(Yes, I still need to make them available off of
opensource.freescale.com as well still.  *sigh*)

excellent articles :)

glad to see other people from the semiconductor industry
use/excel with git.

Thank you!

For the record, no MS products were used in the
creation of those papers, nor the presentations.
I wrote plain ASCII text for the papers, and the
presentation was done in OpenOffice.  After that,
however, I don't know how Linux Magazine produced
the PDF files for the articles. :-)

Yes, I _know_ you meant "do well", not "Use MS Excel"... :-)

I thought I saw somebody running an OpenOffice presentation on a
windows machine at OLS, and have a vague recollection that it
was you ;-).
