This is a joint event with the BCS Open Source SG.
Synopsis
Big organisations like to centralise. They like the control and management of centralised services. Distributed source code management (DSCM) systems such as git and mercurial represent a potentially disruptive shift in version control. Dan has been using DSCMs for his personal projects for a couple of years now, and recently his company - a 500 person trading firm - took the decision to embrace DSCM and begin the migration towards git from its centralised, monolithic Subversion repository.
In this talk, Dan outlines some of the differences between centralised and distributed version control systems, from a technical, social and organisational perspective, and describes some of the challenges of migrating towards and using DSCM successfully in a commercial setting.
