The joint Mercurial / Bazaar-NG sprint: aftermath
The weekend in London, now almost a week past, was sufficiently intense that I didn’t have the energy to write it up as I went along, or indeed to write much of anything about it until now. Of course we…

I’m giving a talk on Mercurial at Baypiggies, the San Francisco Bay Area Python user’s group, tomorrow evening at 7:30pm. If you’re a local Mercurial user and we haven’t met, please feel free to come along. If you don’t use…
Joint Mercurial / Bazaar-NG sprint
A few weeks ago, Mark Shuttleworth showed up on IRC, and invited several core developers from the Mercurial and Bazaar-NG to visit London, on Canonical, Ltd’s shilling. The purpose of the joint visit is to discuss possible points of collaboration…

Slides from distributed SCM talk at Foo Camp 2005 available
I gave a talk on distributed SCMs at Foo Camp last weekend. The slides are now available as a PDF document. The talk was an overview of the current state of the Free Software distributed SCM world; I didn’t concentrate…
On distributed and centralised revision control
Ian Bicking has written two thoughtful articles on distributed and centralised revision control systems (the first, the second). His original thesis was one that he shared with Greg Hudson, one of the Subversion developers: for free software, distributed SCM bad,…
More about Subversion
[I originally posted this about two weeks ago, but something caused it to disappear. Here’s a lightly edited repost.] Karl Fogel posted a comment on my future of free distributed SCM systems entry, asking for some more detail on what…
