For those who don't know, Microsoft had (is having) a Windows 7 install fest. On November 5, 2009 after our regularly scheduled meeting The Open Source Club will likewise be hosting an Install-Fest of free, open source software. This is rather last minute, but you won't be disappointed if you show up! We are giving away free and open-source applications and operating systems. Plus if you are really eager to getting the software or even an operating system on your laptop we will be gladly installing them for you.

On Thursday November 5th, 2009, we will be holding a lightning talk session on a multitude of different source control programs. Lightning talks will consist of several different presentations by different presenters over the course of the meeting time.

• Any other source control tool you can think of
