[Sam Boyer](http://twitter.com/sdboyer) (aka [sdboyer](http://drupal.org/user/146719)) talks about the [Drupal.org transition from CVS to Git.](https://www.lullabot.com/articles/git-is-coming-soon-to-drupalorg) Sam talks about the [different phases of the migration,](http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/git) and how using a distributed version control system like [Git](https://git-scm.com/) will change and improve the collaborative workflow of Drupal development for both core and contrib. There is also an [experimental git mirror of all the Drupal modules](http://git.drupal.org/) that Sam helped set up.

Sam participated on the DrupalCon San Francisco panel called [ The exodus: leading Drupal out of CVS](http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/exodus-leading-drupal-out-cvs) that talked more about this transition.

The Drupal Association also just announced that they're [offering up five contracts](http://association.drupal.org/5-contracts-complete-redesign) related to the Drupal.org redesign including one for [the Git migration lead.](http://groups.drupal.org/node/66623)
