For directions see http://www.cos.com/contact/directions.shtml I plan to give a presentation on a CVS reporting script I've been working on recently, and also lightly cover applying CVS to software development. For those who aren't familiar with CVS it is "Concurrent Versions System", an open-source, source-code repository that helps a group of developers to work concurrently on a software project. I'll bring homemade cookies and as always, our host Community of Science will provide soda.
