In professional software development as the complexity of the project increases the most important challenge for developers is to manage/version the source code and other project files. To manage each version of the source code manually is a nightmare, CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) is an open source versioning software system that not only maintains record of source files throughout the development but also facilitate the realism and efficacy of the project by allowing the multiple developers to work simultaneously on the same project without loss of data. Now-a-days many open source IDEs such as Eclipse and NetBeans provide built in CVS access functionality. In this workshop we begin with an introduction of CVS and then we present a tutorial on configuring CVS server on Suse Linux and accessing CVS functionality from Eclipse.

User Mode Linux (UML) allows you to run Linux inside itself as a user program. A normal cycle of kernel code modification consists of modify->compile->save_previous_kernel->install_new_kernel->boot_new_kernel->crash->boot_previous_kernel. UML allows you to cut this long and very tedious process to modify->compile->boot_new_kernel->crash. Furthermore you can run several instances of UML on a single machine and run many nifty network related experiments. The target audiences of this workshop is people who want to familiarize themselves with Linux kernel and want to modify it at a later stage.
