PLUG Meeting on Thurs Sept 10th

[PLUG Announcements]

We have two presentations for September: The fish shell and Git.

Topic: The fish shell
Speaker: I. Preston

Preston will give us an introduction to the fish shell 
(http://fishshell.com/), "a smart and user-riendly command line shell 
for OS X, Linux, and the rest of the family", why you’d want to use it 
over bash or zsh, and some tips and tricks to get the most out of it.

Preston is a software engineer at a Chandler start-up. He's a frequent 
presenter at http://desertpy.com, the founder of 
http://www.meetup.com/Language-Roulette, and a connoisseur of 
interesting and sometimes terrible programming languages.


Topic: Intro to Git
Speaker: Aaron Jones

This will be a basic introduction to Git discussing how to use Git to 
handle version control, what version control is, and why we should use 
version control. He will also explain how to use Git in combination with 
Github.com and demonstrate how we can share files or contribute to 
projects using Git.

Aaron is a web developer who enjoys using new technologies. He began 
using Linux while still a kid and is pro- VIM, GIT, CMUS, and 
NEWSBEUTER. His workflow is command line based and he hope's to help 
others learn more about computing, linux ,and the tools out there to 
make them more productive.
