LinuxCon Europe + CloudOpen Europe

While git was written to manage source code, it can do a lot more! From tracking personal notes to managing your website, wiki, and blog over tracking system and personal configuration files to managing videos, photos and other large files and making system backups, a lot of tools have been grown around the git ecosystem to help you manage your digital life. What we will talk about: etckeeper, git-annex, ikiwiki, mr, vcsh, zsh (vcs_info). What we will do: Everything I do will be presented via video projector. You are encouraged to take notes and follow along, but there will be scripts and snippets to start from and work with. What to bring/prepare: Laptop with Linux and Git installed, pre-installed, up to date versions of the tools mentioned, optionally USB drive or thumb drive, note-pad, pen, paper, etc, shell access to a unix server.
