+============================================================

+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Git is a distributed SCM, which means every developer has a full local clone
+of the complete history of every revision of the code allowing for independence and
+unparalleled speed compared to other central SCMs. Through intelligent branching and
+merging functionality combined with a highly optimized transport protocol distributed
+development can become much more efficient.
+
+Especially contributors who don't have direct write access to the code of Open
+Source projects may largely benefit from the distributed nature of Git.
+This explains the high interest of the Eclipse community to move from CVS and SVN
+towards Git in order to ease the life of contributors and this way make the
+community more successful.
+
+The EGit project is implementing Eclipse tooling on top of JGit, the Java
+implementation of Git. EGit and JGit moved to Eclipse in May 2009 and plan
+to ship their next release with Helios.
+
+This talk will give an update of the project progress and more detailed information
+about the design and features. A demo will illustrate how it's used in the development
+process. It will also show how Gerrit, a JGit based Review system developed for the
+needs of the Android community can help to further improve the development process.
