This year, we had again a developer room and held a Git workshop there under the Lumiera banner. We decided to do that because Git is a key tool in the Lumiera development process and anything to ease the entry into development.
We had a lot of visitors to the Git workshop/Lumiera room, including Scott Chacon, and spent a good deal of time explaning and clarifying Git to quite a few people. There’s a lot of people out there terribly interested in Git and we got a few people started on their way to getting to know Git. Holding a workshop on Git was a good idea as we did get a lot of people coming round just because of Git (and the kind of people that come to such a workshop are developers and that’s what the Lumiera project is after) and we used the opportunity to spread the word.
We had a computer and set up a Git repository so that people could have hands on experience with Git. This worked very well and a few visitors benefited directly from that. It was also great to meet some of the individuals behind the internet-mask and get to know them: it somehow adds that extra dimension when you can place a face and character to an email address.
