I’m proud to announce that #ruby-pro[1] will be holding its second  
gathering[2]  
on Friday, August 15th at 23.00 UTC.

The topic of the gathering will be git - tutorial, walkthrough and demo  
through the distributed revision  
control software, hosted by erikh.

To attend the gathering you need an IRC client[4] and join  
#ruby-pro-gathering on [irc.freenode.org](http://irc.freenode.org).  
The gathering is logged, so if you can’t attend, you can read it later.

[1] #ruby-pro:  
is an IRC channel[3] on [irc.freenode.org](http://irc.freenode.org) where experienced and  
advanced Ruby coders can meet and talk, and where less experienced  
Rubyists  
can read and learn.  
For more information see [ruby-pro.org](http://ruby-pro.org)

[2] gathering:  
One of #ruby-pro’s aims is to spread knowledge. To that end we hold  
gatherings where topics are presented, each by a host and each in the  
format the host of that topic considers best.  
They are basically talks held via IRC.

[3] Internet Relay Chat (IRC):  
is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is  
mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums called  
channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message.
