[fedora-classroom] Workshop on Git (+gobby), next February 2, 21:00 UTC

Hi classmates :) I'm from a group of latinamerican contributors of Fedora, and we are working from last year on the making of a magazine about Fedora for spanish-speakers (or at least readers)[0]. We are moving our workflow from e-mail and wikis, to more agile tools: project management with Redmine(and maybe Trac), and Git for source control. We are on the beginning of learning Git, so, we are going to host a class on the basics of Git, this next Wednesday on our #fedora-classroom on freenode, at 21:00 UTC. Practical hands-on session, as Kevin Fenzi suggested, instead of booooring conference (as my last class about Redmine :D). We must to do these disclaimers: * I'm not an expert on Git, but i've gained a little bit of experience through collaboration on Docs and L10n projects, and i've managed enough on repo on fedorahosted (on fedorapeople personal repos, too), to drive the workshop, on the basics of cloning a repo, making contributions, and staying synchronized with the work of the team. I'm going to use the most basic commands, and as reference a little bit of chapters 2-3 of "Git Magic" [1] * We are going to drive our class in Spanish, for ease of communication. I'm sorry for people not reading our language, but maybe some commands we are going to run as example, you could follow and share with us your doubts in English (we don't write it so well, but reading yes, so may be we can help you anyway). * In contrast to last class about Redmine, aimed to Latam Ambassadors, and since we didn't reach advanced topics, and everything we talked is covered on the Redmine official guide; This is a tool of interest to other people on Fedora, and we'll translate to English to give you as reference for future (and hopefully more advanced workshops) about Git. * We are going to jump a little bit on Gobby as tool for collaborative writing, but it's only a plus on the class. * Also, the goal is implementing our workflow for writing articles, designing the magazine and so on, in our real repo, so, if you'd like to try with your own fedorapeople repo, it's alright and we can help you, since if you get in trouble, your feedback and finding together the solution, will be useful for everyone attending the class, or reading the logs. * Finally, we are going to use a bunch of graphics trying to give more visual reality of what we are going to do in the commands to type. We will use JessyInk as standard tool, very ease to translate that, since the SVGs can be edited even in a simple text editor. So, i hope this can be useful for you too in a near future. Of course, if you have some knowledge about more advanced topics, we would like a lot to hear from your thoughts and attending your class if you have a spare time to host one.
