Before the March 3rd migration of MediaWiki core + WMF-deployed extensions to git, we want all MediaWiki developers to feel comfortable with Git, git-review, and Gerrit. So I'm scheduling the first in some one-hour interactive training sessions where you can learn the new MediaWiki development workflow.
I can lead a couple of these on Monday and Tuesday, 27 and 28 February. If you're interested, please mark down times that you're available in this poll:

I intend on running these sessions via Google+ Hangout (you don't have to enable your webcam or audio) so you'll see my screen as I show you the steps. If you prefer not to use G+, then please let me know and I'll separately schedule some IRC trainings, or find another screensharing solution.
While it's nice if you can come to a training, I aim to also make sure comprehensive documentation is at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Workflow
by sometime this Friday. And then, after I've gotten the ball rolling, I hope other new experts will take the lead and start teaching.

OK, I've closed the poll. I'll hold two of these on G+ next week:
Monday 27 Feb, 22:00 UTC http://bit.ly/zBNhXu Tuesday 28 Feb, 21:00 UTC http://bit.ly/y9CFuW
Please come into IRC and find me half an hour before the meetings, so we can get you set up with a Labsconsole/Gerrit account, and so we can ensure your Google+ setup works.
If anyone else wants to lead some of these, speak up! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Workflow is a pretty good guide now and will be even better by Monday.
