Joomla and SVN
We'll be talking about coding for Joomla and the subversion version control system.
I've been a SVN user for over a year and I think I can help new people:
- understand the benefits
- learn the basics
- learn how to use it to get more out of their workflow
- be prepared for the gotcha's
- know where to go for help

Thanks, John. I am an avid users of SVN (via Beanstalk) for Joomla development and will be attending. I am interested in learning about the following concepts either as they do, or do not, relate to Joomla:
1. Database Versioning
2. trunks/branches - What are they and how can they be used to maintain varying code bases at once?
3. setting up a local joomla working environment on a mac without having to export the repo because of permissions issuesLooking forward to it!!!

Great Nick!
I'm an SVN user too and am just over the 'basic' level of user. I offered to present on this topic because I knew it would thrust me into learning more about SVN and thus becoming more proficient.Little did I know...
OK, still over a month to become an expert user!
Database versioning with SVN...that's interesting, I'm guessing you' have to do that with a shell script that would dump the SQL and then commit it to your SVN repo. I'll look into that...

Awesome. Let me know if you want to put heads together on that. I have been using SVN for joomla for a while and manage a decent size team. I can offer what I know. If you have not used Beanstalk, it is a must. It manage repos as well as manages releases to Dev, Staging and Prod servers.

Benjamin,
I'll be delivering the presentation on SVN. My talk is in the planning stages now so please feel free to give me input on topics you'd like to see covered. I wasn't planning to get all that Joomla specific with my examples, but to focus more on the basics of version control and using SVN to track changes/versions of your existing Joomla site.
