[OKC JUG] okc jug meeting tomorrow

[Jason Lee]

You are correct, Brian.  My apologies for the late email (despite  
repeated reminders from Brian :).

We are meeting tomorrow, though this meeting will be a bit different.   
We (the Steering Committee) have some announcements to make regarding  
the JUG that we'd like to discuss.  While they may not affect the  
membership directly, the group belongs to all of us, so we (the SC  :)  
like to keep everyone up-to-date.

Furthermore, we won't have a full presentation tomorrow.  As Brian  
noted, we are going to have a short introduction to git, a distributed  
version control system (similar to Mercurial or bazaar, if you're  
familiar with those).  We'll see what it is from very high-level, then  
have a short hands on lab to play with it some.

After the lab, we'll open up the rest of the time for networking.  One  
of the purposes of the JUG is to meet other people -- fellow  
developers, project managers, recruiters, etc. Whether it's finding  
help for a tough issue at the office, finding a new job, or just  
socially talking shop, it's difficult to understate the importance of  
this part of the JUG, yet it's what we do the poorest, given our time  
constraints.  For that reason, we want to give everyone time to hang  
out and put faces to names if desired, or to head back to the office  
early.

It should be a good time.  We hope to see you there!
