Fridays big event was a Pragmatic Source Code Management workshop, where amongst other things I emphasized the importance of consistent changesets, branching, tagging, using distributed version control systems or not, and what some of the advantages or disadvantages are.

As demo-case(s), I basically opened up a few Subversion and GIT repositories I had stored on my laptop, and showed the audience some of the different workflows implemented with various projects like anaconda (very operating system version specific branching), or vmime (which originally isn't a GIT repository, but where we have upstream, downstream with patches, and then some of the patches having been accepted upstream but not others).

Additionally, we worked on a couple of real-life use-cases where each time the question was, "How would you like to see this situation improved, and what tooling or process could or would you use?"

Some time after the meeting I'm in right now (FAD EMEA 2009), and a very interesting and intensive Red Hat VDI implementation project, I'll make sure that I post some of the slides or notes I think are interesting.
