Today I played a small part in Perforce's Battle School pre-conference training. I spoke for about an hour on deployment planning, reviewing the goals, tools, and procedures involved. There are a lot of new tools available to support a big or distributed user base now, ranging from the tried-and-true proxy to the broker and replica servers. In the course of an hour its tough to provide a lot of detail, but there are a lot of great sessions at the conference on these topics.

Be it the Product Manager adding South Park figures to the Kanban board or spontaneous chips, salsa, and margaritas to celebrate a financial milestone.

What are the driving features of a DVCS and how you can get the same features from Perforce?
Come to the conference and find out!
