Good talk and great info about basic nuts and bolts. Would have liked a bit more about workflow scenarios.
The Future is Not Yet Widely Distributed (intro to Git)

Talk at php|works/PyWorks (English - US)
DVCS have been the flavor of the year in 2007 with all of the "cool kids" and several high-profile projects moving to them. Git has risen to the top as one of the major players in this field with projects like the Linux Kernel adopting it. This talk introduces developers to Git and shows them how it fits into their everyday work flow.

While I think the content is great, I felt it was more of a howto session as opposed to an overview. It felt like you were trying to tell us how to do it and then why it might be useful. I would have liked to have seen things flipped around: "Here's *why* you would do this and why it's so valuable and here's a quick way to do it."
Regardless, the content was good and accurate, just not exactly what I was expecting.

Good overview. Nice talk style. But the reason I attended was to see what all the fuss was about. What the *real* differentiator between SVN and git was. Either I missed it or it wasn't apparent. For example, git is supposed to make branching easier, but I didn't see *how* it does. Was not so interested in basic VCS concepts and git syntax.

Nice intro to Git, excellently tailored to existing CVS and Subversion users. Liked that the speaker had simple visuals and didn't read bullet points off the slides. Trying to grok rebase still hurts my head, though. :P
