Git workshop with Tim Berglund at OSCON 2011. It’ll be my first time at OSCON, and being the open source advocate that I am, I’m nothing short of thrilled to sit and attend a few sessions as well. I’ll be joined by some of my esteemed No Fluff Just Stuff compatriots such as Scott Davis and Daniel Hinojosa, amongst several others. If you are on the fence about attending, check out this partial speaker list, let the awesomeness settle in, and then book your ticket.
Oh, and last, but not least, our Presentation Patterns talk (with the venerable Neal Ford and well-known Nate Schutta) was also accepted as a talk at OSCON. Double win!

Mattias Karlsson, the ever-professional helmsman for the JFokus conference, had an at-length discussion with me about Git and his conference at the grand Devoxx show in Antwerp, Belgium this past November. We arrived at a plan to bring Git, the innovative DVCS from Linus Torvalds, in full force to Stockholm, Sweden, home of my great-great grandfather, through workshops and lectures.
It sounded like a good plan, and I received the generous support of GitHub, the awesome web-enabled half of Git to make the trip possible. Wanting to maximize the Git teaching time spent in Stockholm, Mattias and some of my Swedish colleagues helped organize 1, then 3, and now 5 Git training opportunities. The plan is now to spend nearly 5 to 10 hours per day teaching Git; I couldn’t be more excited!
If you are in the Stockholm region and want to learn why Git is not just another tool in your belt, but literally a refreshing new way to think about source control and code collaboration, then contact Mattias or I. Get in on one of the events from Monday through Friday of this week (February 14 through 18) and Git Going.
See you in Stockholm!

I am pleased to have been selected to deliver Git and Hadoop presentations at three exciting venues in Europe in 2011.
The exciting sharing of Git begins with JFokus in Stockholm, Sweden on the 14th of February, 2011. I’ll be delivering a 1 hour Git Intro talk, a 3 hour Git University Session, and a 2 day Git Workshop. It will be my first journey to Stockholm and I’m expecting to see it in its wintery white state. This trip will be made possibly in part by Scott Chacon and other generous sponsors at GitHub.com
The fun in Scandinavia continues with the ever-popular and ever-more-necessary Encryption on the JVM talk at the Scandinavian Developers Conference in Göteborg, Sweden on April 4th and 5th. It will be preceded by a Git Workshop taught by myself and Tim Berglund of the August Technology Group.
ScanDev will be quickly followed by DWorld’s 33rd Degree Java Conference in Kraków, Poland. I’ll share some insights with attendees about Hadoop and Git and have a post-conference workshop on Git.
The final Springtime stop will be at JAX which will be held in Mainz, Germany on May 2nd through 6th. I’ll be delivering a Git talk and a Git university session in the countryside west of Frankfurt.
And yes, I’m already planning my September, 2011 trip to JavaZone in Oslo, Norway. This conference has become a favorite in so many ways. I love to debut and passionately deliver new talks to this conference and the crowd is so receptive to new ideas and the latest technology. The equally great part about this show is its newly minted JourneyZone — an after-conference wilderness adventure in the Norwegian mountains. The 2010 edition was fantastic. I don’t know how any outdoor adventure could top it. But the organizers say they are trying, and I believe them!
What a year 2011 will be. So much fun and so many places to share all the topics I’m most excited about. I can hardly wait for it to get started.
