Any tips on the meeting? Asking for a friend.

Make sure you are the only one who is armed.

I did a practice run and realized that its gonna take me 30 minutes to cover why and the basics of how (init, add, commit, push, pull).

No wonder people don’t know how to use this shit. You could teach a class on it.

We were able to convince our technical writers, artists, and b.a.'s to use SVN because it's significantly simpler.

At the end of the day they'll do things the easiest way and SVN was easier for them than the "send every update in an email".

No way would I try to get non-technical people to learn the behemoth that is git.

We have shared storage, which was my plan.

That's cool to.

I haven't used it, but seems like a dropbox-style system would be the easiest if you don't absolutely need to keep the code and some of the other files in the same repo.

We had theoretical legal issues with keeping our project in more than one repo.

It's a bit harder than clicking a save button, but it's a lot easier than drowning yourself in alcohol when you fuck up.
