Thanks Peter, I'm informing the others in my original request in the = event they may wish to participate, or at least, for their info. I'm = also c.c.ing key or prospective OPA dev team members to get this out = immediately, given the short notice. A more formal invitation and = agenda will follow, which will be the better one to forward to your = colleagues. Note: If any of you have specific preferences what to = include in this informal tutorial, please advise asap. Andr=E9e, can you arrange for us to do this under KES in the same room = we used for the ZOPE & PostNUKE presentations earlier this month for = GoL? 7 Feb, 10am-12noon. Re: Question: are you using WinCVS or command-line CVS on Linux? We'll take your advice, but the team should be aware of the advantages = and limitations of WinCVS. ~Joseph=20 -----Original Message----- From: Peter Bojanic [mailto:pe...@bo...] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 3:11 PM To: Joseph Potvin Cc: Russell McOrmond Subject: RE: HELP WANTED: Someone to demo SourceForge.net forsomeGovernment folk On Thu, 2003-01-30 at 14:56, Joseph Potvin wrote: > Peter -- First, I did consciously mean to include you in the original > email request, but got side-tracked prior to clicking "send".

I can take the lead. As you mentioned, there may be other experienced SF developers present, which will round out our discussion nicely. > Re: Let me know what is required. > The core attendees are "technical".

Question: are you using WinCVS or command-line CVS on Linux? I'm more familiar with the latter, but can probably win it if you've got WinCVS available. > I'm thinking a two-hour tutorial.

That makes it pretty easy because I won't have to prepare much. >=20 > Other experienced SF people might be there to offer additional > insights. >=20 > Do you think this would work? Would you handle it differently? =20 Sounds good, Joseph. If it's a small group we can keep it very informal and handle Q&A as we go along. Fri, Feb 7 at 10am? Where shall I meet you?
