[LRUG] A talk about telling stories with your commits?

[Joel Chippindale]

Just to round this conversation off (many months later).

This talk went ahead in January, so thanks to all of you who came and for

If you prefer reading to watching, then more recently Seb wrote a blog post

And last week, Mal published an example of one of our commits as a blog
post.
