I was very proud to participate in the official DrupalCon Pre-Conference Training again this year. I decided to repeat my Intro to Drupal Theming class, especially since drupal 7 was such new territory. Our class size was limited to 20 students, which sold out in advance of the conference.

Let's face it - anyone with anything more than a passing interest in the Drupal community is probably aware that we're in the midst of embracing Git, "the fast version control system". As with just about everything else in our community, we are continuously jettising outdated technology and replacing it with modern solutions.

Excited about DrupalCon Chicago? You only think you're excited - after you listen to this interview with DrupalCon organizers Tiffany Farriss and George DeMet your excitement meter will be turned up to 11. Join Mike Anello as he talks with Tiffany and George about all of the amazing things that the Drupal community has to look forward to next week in Chicago. If you're attending DrupalCon, then you'll want to queue up this week's podcast and get yourself ready for all the action next week. You'll learn what to pack, what you'll eat, how to get around, as well all the new things that this particular DrupalCon will offer.

On a very special episode of the DrupalEasy podcast, Ryan Price and Mike Anello are joined by the highly-caffenated Sam Boyer, Drupal.org's official Git migration leader. Sam was hired by the Drupal Association to oversee the transition of Drupal's source code repository system from CVS to Git. The transition is expected to take place on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - we figured that Sam had nothing better to do two days prior to the migration than sit down with us for an hour and fill us in on all the details.
