Main Topic: Collaborative Development

Our moderator is: Jim McQuillan

Many of us have been in the position of needing to work on a document or program with other people either locally or geographically dispersed. This month we'll be having a discussion about the various tools and technologies to make collaborative development easier. This could be One-on-One, or there may be many people involved in the collaboration. For this meeting, we'll be primarily focused on the small team of 2 people collaborating over the internet.

• • Voip

• • group meeting tools (FOSS tools to work with or replace netmeeting)

• • Gobby

• • ACE is a platform-independent, collaborative text editor. It is a real-time cooperative editing system
  • DocSynch is a collaborative editing system on top of IRC

• • MoonEdit is a multi-platform collaborative text editor

• document/code management
  • cvs
  • subversion
  • Bazaar

We won't have the time to go into depth in every item in the above list, but we'll cover whatever we can. We expect this to be a highly interactive meeting, so if you have ideas of your own, for how to deal with collaboration, show up and tell us about it.
