It gave me many hours/years of joyful biased windows/microsoft bashing. :) Not as good as when Windows 95/98 were still mainstream, but it was all I had. :{

It brings the Python standard library that much closer to Python programmers and helps make them more proficient in their trade." Read below for Ahmed's first Slashdot review.

I'm not going to argue about the rest of your arguments, but I will take the claim that the democratic domino started in Iraq with a pinch of salt. That sounds, to me, like pure speculation. Not that there is anything wrong with speculation, but to put it as fact is misleading to others.

Git Adoption Soaring; Are There Good Migration Strategies? 346

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday January 10, 2009 @06:15AM from the git-while-the-gittin's-good dept.

Got To Get Me A Git writes "Distributed version control systems (DVCS) seem to be the next big thing for open source software development. Many projects have already adopted a DVCS and many others are in the process of migrating. There are a lot of major advantages to using a DVCS, but the task of migrating from one system to another appears to be a formidable challenge. The Perl Foundation's recent switch to Git took over a year to execute. The GNOME project is planning its own migration strategy right now after discovering that a significant majority of the project's developers favor Git. Perhaps some of the projects that are working on transitions from other mainstream version control systems can pool their resources and collaborate to make some standardized tools and migration best practices documentation. Does such a thing already exist? Are any folks out there in the Slashsphere working on migrating their own project or company to a DVCS? I'd appreciate some feedback from other readers about what works and what doesn't."
