On a very special episode of the DrupalEasy podcast, Ryan Price and Mike Anello are joined by the highly-caffenated Sam Boyer, Drupal.org's official Git migration leader. Sam was hired by the Drupal Association to oversee the transition of Drupal's source code repository system from CVS to Git. The transition is expected to take place on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - we figured that Sam had nothing better to do two days prior to the migration than sit down with us for an hour and fill us in on all the details.

John Albin Wilkins (JohnAlbin on Drupal.org), co-author of Packt Publishing's new Drupal 7 Module Development as well as one of the main contributors of Drupal 7's theme layer, joined Ryan Price and Mike Anello to talk about theming in Drupal 7.

Topics covered include the new "render elements" and hook_page_alter(). John also explained what themers can expect when upgrading a theme from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 as well as how enjoyable he finds working in Drupal 7.
