Distributed Version Control Systems and Git

** Please note important information about: this meeting **

Source Code Management or Version Control is an important aspect of software development. For over a decade, CVS, a centralized SCM, was the dominant player in software to manage a project's code history and handle concurrent development by multiple programmers. In the past few years, new version control systems based on the idea of distributed systems.

This presentation will explain basic concepts in source code management, review the history and overall themes of centralized systems such as CVS and Subversion, and also introduce distributed SCMs and their benefits over the older systems. Git is used as a concrete example of a distributed SCM and a brief introduction to Git features not present in most SCMs will also be featured.

About Jorden Mauro:
Jorden is a student/grader/labbie at the Rochester Institute of Technology currently working for JP Morgan Chase & Co. in Manhattan.

Over the past couple of years, he's worked on the Linux kernel with Greg Kroah-Hartman on the staging tree to get drivers into the kernel faster and get them patched up, worked with Plan 9 from Bell Labs on some userspace stuff, and he's done a lot of things at RIT, including making Linux machines available for student use in one of the open labs and started a tech-talk series.
