Launchpad Open Source Project Management Site

I have setup a project and group at Launch Pad (LP) for testing to see
if the world of decentralized VCS will work for everyone.

0. go to http://launchpad.net and sign up

1. make sure u have generated and add SSH keys to LP from the machine
you are on (if you have not done this before there are many ways to do
this - look here for some methods
https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair )

2. join the "FutureFab Organization (ffo)" - Turlif (admin) will approve your request

3. download bzr at http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download

if u like GUI tools
see http://bazaar-vcs.org/3rdPartyTools

• for cross-platform
  http://www.sorn.net/projects/wildcat-bzr/

• for win file manager
  integration http://bazaar-vcs.org/TortoiseBzr. Note that TortoiseBzr is included in the Bazaar Windows installer version 1.7, but not yet in version 1.8.

• for a complete SCM
  tool http://bazaar-vcs.org/QBzr. Note that QBzr should be installed as a plugin for Bazaar, and requires Bazaar, Python version 2.4 or 2.5, and PyQt (the Qt gui library for Python) to be installed as well. Run QBzr with the command line: bzr qbzr.

4. read (at least) the first link below and play with bzr locally to get
the feel for it (it is not CVS)
