Distributed Version Control System BoF
Do you hate Subversion?
Do you love Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, or any of those new and fancy distributed version control systems?
If so, this BoF is for you. We will discuss how to move GNOME’s source code from SVN into a DSCM as painlessly as possible.

Behdad Esfahbod
Red Hat
Behdad is an Iranian who grew up loving programming and typography. In high-school he was introduced to data-structures and algorithms and after a couple years of studying these concepts, he ended up pursuing a Computer Engineering BSc program at Sharif University, Tehran. It was around this time when he found the true way of Unix, as well as Free Software, GNU, and GNOME projects.
Eight years later, he has finished his MSc in Computer Science at the University of Toronto and working in Red Hat’s Toronto office in Canada. He’s become an expert in bidirectional scripts (like Arabic) and the Unicode standard, and would like to see Pango eventually be used in a multilingual internationalized full-fledged print-quality desktop publishing system one day. He also dreams of a world that GNOME rocks on every desktop and laptop, and he doesn’t have to report bugs every other day…
