The Arch development team is proud to announce that they are now available on a limited basis for speaking engagements. Recently, one of the core developers, Robert Collins, spoke at Linuxconf, http://linux.conf.au/fixit.cgi#talk12, in Sidney, Australia. The response from that conference was astounding. Topics covered included the basics of arch, how it is implemented, information on what this development team is accomplishing, and how it will affect all free software developers in the near future. In order to convey what arch is and how it can be integrated and utilized, the developers have deemed the speaking engagements will be kept affordable. The cost of travel and accommodations are generally all they require for one-day engagements and modest compensation for longer stays. Small user groups as well as industry conventions and private businesses are all encouraged to take advantage of this service.

Arch is a revision control system for program developers. The purpose of arch is maintaining developmental history by allowing multiple developers to log revisions and "check mark" them for reference. This system is unique in its distributive nature allowing developers to maintain their own fork of the project. These forks are then combined using advance merging tools such as Star Merge.

Implementing arch within a company can save large sums of money and resources. Time developers save by utilizing arch can increase productivity and implementation of new projects. Arch is licensed under the free software license therefore saving the cost of proprietary software and licensing agreements.

For more detailed information on how arch can ease your development woes, visit the arch wiki at http://wiki.gnuarch.org. For more information on booking a speaking engagement with an arch developer, send information to either the developer or your choice. If you do not know which developer to speak with, send email to jblack@gnuarch.org.
