GatorLUG Meeting Agenda for September 19, 2012

6:00 - 6:30 Announcements / General Discussion

6:30 - 7:45 Using Git for Version Control | Benjamin Woodruff

In software development, Git is a distributed revision control and source code management system with an emphasis on speed. Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for Linux kernel development. It has since been adopted by many other projects.

Git's primitives are not inherently a source code management (SCM) system. Torvalds explains, "In many ways you can just see git as a filesystem — it's content-addressable, and it has a notion of versioning, but I really really designed it coming at the problem from the viewpoint of a filesystem person (hey, kernels is what I do), and I actually have absolutely zero interest in creating a traditional SCM system".

Benjamin Woodruff studies computer science and enjoys working with Git. Ben's presentation will be interactive and you can follow the examples and demos on your own computer if you bring one to the meeting.

7:45 - 8:00 Open discussion, meet and greet someone new

GatorLUG is a Linux User Group located in Gainesville, Florida. The purpose of the group is education, support and advocacy for open source, open data formats, and open communication standards.

We meet the third Wednesday of each month. Most meetings are held at a place where food and drinks are available. The meeting announcement will always list the physical location of the meeting. If we have to cancel or change a meeting time it will be annouced in advance on this website and posted to LINUX-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU.

The meeting time will be 6pm unless we have annouced a change. We'll do our best to keep the meeting time and place as consistent as possible. All regular monthly meetings will have an agenda posted to this website and annouced on the LINUX-L list. You are welcome to come early, get a bite to eat and socialize before the presentation starts. Meetings will officially finish by 8pm - that's the goal anyway.

You can often find some of us hanging out on our official IRC channel: irc.freenode.net #gatorlug

 

The GatorLUG website is http://www.gatorlug.org.

Meetings are free and open to the public.

Anthropic Accidentally Exposes Claude Code Source via npm Source Map File

Anthropic's Claude Code CLI had its full TypeScript source exposed after a source map file was accidentally included in version 2.1.88 of its npm package. The 512,000-line codebase was archived to GitHub within hours. Anthropic called it a packaging error caused by human error. The leak revealed unreleased features, internal model codenames, and multi-agent orchestration architecture.
