I would like to learn TFS. I have a windows 7 64bit computer. Is there an express free version or a trial I can use? My main goal is to learn something about TFS for a scrum project I would like to learn to create.
The simplest way to learn TFS is to create a Visual Studio Team Services account, which is the free (for 5 users) cloud version of TFS. You can use the extension called 'Sample Data Widget' that can generate enough sample data to play with the agile planning tools.
If you want to learn configuration and setup, grab the free trial version, stick it in a VM and practice as much as you want.
Or download the VM which contains a pre-configured instance of TFS with sample data. That makes it easier to get started. There is also a whole list of hands-on labs that you can run through for both TFS and VSTS.

In one of my projects we are using Jira and Greenhopper (with Confluence) to manage everything related to the project.
Another client I'm about to start working with uses TFS with workitems and the lots. After reading some material about TFS and its "agile setup" (and seeing some demos), I am wondering if I can get the best from both worlds. TFS can still host the code and the work items, but something else gives me the planning board, task board, burndown reports, etc.
I've googled a little and found products like this: http://www.targetprocess.com/ and http://www.eylean.com/.
Does anyone know about them and can comment on them, or comment on other similar tools?
I am a sales manager of Eylean Board and ,as you mentioned, it has an integration with TFS. One of the main features that lets you easily use both tools is that Eylean simply visualises TFS work items on a Kanban board, so you wont need to learn a new tool. Other features include a time tracking system, various reports, drag and drop for task assigning, additional information for each task, etc.
More information can be found here: http://www.eylean.com/tfs
Even though this is officially off-topic (tools related advice is off-topic for StackOverflow):
Not that I know of, there are tools though that extend Team Foundation Server with additional features:

Is there any tool or method available for migrating code, history, tags from CVS to TFS?
There is a tool from Timely Migration for moving CVS history to Team Foundation Server. I have used these tools (although not with CVS) and they work pretty well.
Unlike CS-Convertor it does not have a per file licencing which is awesome and you can use it as many times as you like.
Did you try to use CS-Converter, it's conversion tool, used to migrate from various legacy version control systems (such as RCS, CVS, Subversion and Visual SourceSafe) to Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) system.

I installed a Windows TFS server, 2010, to Windows 7 Ultimate, to my local machine. I port forwarded and everything.
The question now is: How do I log in, and how do I add more users?
I saw a question similar to this, but it didn't include the log in part :D
I find it the easiest with the TFS Admin Tools. But you can also do it from the commandline (tfssecurity.exe) and directly from within Visual Studio.
First the account that you used to install TFS will be the Admin of the TFS, so you just open the Visual studio and from team menu, click on connect to Team Foundation Server

Does it make sense to use the project management features of Team Foundation Server without using the Source Control and Automatic Build features? We're doing agile in an non-.net environment and would use TFS to manage the project but keep using the currently used source control and build software.
Thanks in advance,
One of TFS' primary strengths is that the work item tracking and source control are so closely linked. Another of its primary strengths is the integration into the Visual Studio IDE. It sounds like you wouldn't be using either of those features, so that starts to drive you away from using TFS as a solution.
Another factor that is an unknown here is how much you would need to pay for TFS licensing. If you already have that covered under existing MSDN licenses, then it probably isn't a factor.
That being said, the agile process template in TFS 2010 is a very nice agile-in-a-box solution, giving you the work items and management reports that you need to work in an agile environment. Additionally, you can modify the process template as needed to meet your particular flavor of agile.

I've came across a code of couple projects from the Rails Rumble 2010 hosted on Github. But this is just a tiny percent of total amount of projects.
Is it possible to have a read-only copy of git repositories from all(or best) projects from Rails Rumble 2010?
P.S. I really tried to find an answer on official website
It's up to individual teams whether or not they open up their code.
