  Main Topics)

         "Revision Control for Managing Configuration Files, Part I"
         By Curt Sampson and Stephen Turnbull

This month, Curt Sampson and Steve Turnbull will talk about revision
control and how to apply it to managing Linux system configuration. We
will describe what revision control is, show examples of at least two
revision control systems (RCS and Git), explain what the issues are when
using these to manage Linux system configuration files, and introduce
etckeeper, which addresses those issues.

Though this is the first part of a series of talks on this subject, this
installment not only gives background necessary to understanding more
sophisticated concepts to be introduced later, but also provides a
useful, self-contained system that will be in itself of benefit to any
systems administrator.

If you are involved in a project or have something you would like to
talk about in this or a future technical meeting, we are always looking
for presenters.

Other items on the agenda are:
1. Introduction of new members, news about Linux/Open Source,
general announcements, Q&A
2. Auction

All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance
fees.

After the meeting, we will continue chatting over a few beers.

About TLUG
----------
TLUG is a non-profit, non-political organization established in June
of 1994 to exchange information on the use of Linux and Free Software
Foundation tools. TLUG has an active mailing list, home page, and
regular physical meetings. Discussions are primarily held in English,
but non-English speakers are encouraged to come and participate.
We especially want to encourage Japanese people to attend and will make
efforts to support a bilingual meeting.

TLUG generally hosts technical meetings every month on the 2nd
Saturday, and a nomikai (social even at a pub) every even month on the
2rd Friday.

The TLUG home page is available at http://www.tlug.jp
