CVS is a versatile and very useful open source tool. I advisea anyone
using frequently modified text files to use cvs. A common use for cvs is
to maintain and distribute c and c++ source code. Cvs is also good for
scripting languages such as sed, awk, php, python, bash and perl. Other
possibilities are are to maintain static web pages with cvs or to
maintain computerized numerical control programs. Cvs is a client server
application with command line and graphical clients available for linux,
unix and windows. Come to this meeting to see that it simpler than you
may think to get a cvs server assisting you in maintaining your own
work. 

Our presenter:

Dirk Bartley, a WMU graduate, works as a systems administrator for
Schupan Aluminum Sales, a division of Schupan and Sons. His passion for
free software comes second to spending time with his wife Dawn, an Upper
Peninsula native, and taking Shelly, their sheltie/terrier mix pound
pooch, for a walk. These interests are only followed by his love of
playing ice hockey.
