Hi everyone,

I gave a talk yesterday about how we use Python in Mercurial. You can
view the slides online later today or download them directly:

Next week I will give a 1 hour talk about Mercurial. There will be a
short introduction to Mercurial so that everybody can get up to speed
before we go into detail on how you can use Mercurial to track
third-party libraries that you need to ship as part of your application.

Such code is put into a "vendor branch" and I will show you how
Mercurial makes it easy to keep track of your own modifications to the
third-party code while still being able to accept new code drops, e.g.,
when a new library release is made.

This workflow is very general and can be used whenever you receive code
from a third-party, whether you get it as a zip file in an email or as a
checkout from another version control system that you might not have
commit rights to.

The talk if free and the sign up details are here:

After the talk, there will be a 2 hour Kick Start where you will can
experiment with the concepts yourself and ask me any questions you might
have. This will be similar in style to the first Kick Start:

The Kick Start costs 100 CHF.
