Please, do not confuse ClearCase with UCM.
UCM is not ClearCase!
In fact, UCM is an anti-ClearCase, if by ClearCase, one
means what made ClearCase the first SCM tool on the
market between 1992 and 1999.
UCM has completely ignored the novelty in ClearCase,
and cast in stone old CM mistakes (such as delivering
by merging).

It's ClearCase UCM indeed. We'll give a webinar for non-UCM ClearCase
in future.
Thanks for the comment.

I have something against webinars, to be honest.
SCM is about *managing* information.
Its first weapon is to *represent* it, in a way which
allows for an objective *identification*.
This should happen in written form.
I mean that I cannot see any reasonable alternative,
either verbal (oral), or graphical (or very limited in
the latter case...).
However, 'written' may be either text, or software,
where software is being *run* and offers an
experience with constrains interpretation.
Note that interpretation may be constrained, but
not evacuated.

> SCM is about *managing* information.
This thread could be continued.
We have here one criterion to distinguish two
opposite traditions of (S)CM:
- top-down: apply rules, give talks
- bottom-up: manage contributions, discuss.
For a long time already, I have termed the first CM,
and the second SCM.
The rationale is that the latter is both more
ambitious and more humble: it doesn't even dream
to be possible without software tools, and without
using software representations.
The first was practiced for 40 years with pencil and
papers, and meetings.
It is happy to use Excel and PowerPoint as main
'Software' tools.
Of course, i don't consider Excel and PowerPoint
as software: to me, they are only hardware in disguise.
