Keynote

Why Congress Needs a Revision Control System

Karl Fogel, QuestionCopyright.org

Track: O'Reilly Radar Executive Briefing
Date: Tuesday, July 24
Time: 4:00pm - 4:15pm
Location: Portland Ballroom

Revision control has always seemed to me to be one of the most important, yet under-appreciated drivers of open source success. It's an essential part of the software developer's toolkit, and a foundation of Wikipedia as well. When I invited Karl Fogel, one of the founding developers of Subversion, to come talk to us about the importance of version control, he proposed this thought-provoking discussion topic. The title says it all.
