1) Subversion by Brian Fitzpatrick

Subversion is an Open Source Version Control System whose mission is  
"To provide a "compelling replacement for CVS."  Subversion reached  
version 1.0 in February, 2004.

Brian Fitzpatrick will talk about the features of Subversion,  
differences between Subversion and CVS, and possible directions for  
Subversion's future development.  He will also discuss how Subversion  
handles Mac OS X specific problems (Bundled directories, etc).

Brian Fitzpatrick is a Senior Software Engineer at CollabNet, Inc  
http://www.collab.net/  working full-time on the Subversion project. He  
is also a co-author of the book "Version Control with Subversion" to be  
released in June by O'Reilly and Associates.


2) all the other stuff

We will, as usual, also have Q & A, a discussion of future meeting  
topics and dates.  We are very thankful to Kiwi Internet Group for the  
list-serve, and other resources they have provided to support this  
group.  As special thank you to Jonathan Rentzsch for updating and  
hosting the groups website ( http://www.cawug.org/ ).

We also wish to thank the folks who run the theater space at the Apple  
store for letting us have our meetings there.  Since there are no  
eating facilities at the store, we will not bring in food.  However,  
given the store's good location, it should be easy to continue the  
discussion at a local eatery or pub like Timothy O'Toole's at 622  
Fairbanks (2 blocks east of the store) which worked out very well last  
month.

Lastly, if you are working on a project and would like to talk about it  
  briefly / promote it, I think it would be fun for people to hear about  
  other people's projects.  Please email me off line and you can talk at  
  a future meeting.

Our next meeting is on May 4th.
