Subject: [DFW.pm] Announcing the upcoming Perl Mongers Meeting

Yes folks, this Wednesday the 9th we "Git" to it!  Bring your laptop and come prepared to use/learn git; if you haven't used it yet, I promise it's not as hard as you might be expecting.  Please download and install a git client on your machine *before* you come, as installation of git is not part of the itinerary.  We'll be using command-line git and github to kick off our collaborative project, so even if you won't be coding or patching, this is your chance to come face to face with Linus Torvalds' "Information Manager From Hell" and gain a decent level of mastery of this essential development tool.  Experience with git will be a pretty feather in your hat, a useful gadget in your utility belt, and a nice bullet on your resume (profit!)  It will be the way we share information and code in our own DFW.pm projects (fun!)

As a bonus, we'll also be showing a recording of Randal Schwartz's own presentation on Git.  The great Randal Schwartz<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randal_L._Schwartz> literally wrote the book on Perl, so this is a night you won't want to miss.
