We've got a great lineup with keynotes from Senator Kate Lundy (Openness in Government), Jon Oxer (Freedom for Atoms) and Damian Conway (Fun with Dead Languages), plus Brian Catto from AGIMO.gov.au and Tony Beal from AGS.gov.au . We've got business and technical talks, workshops & mini-confs on topics including Java, PHP, Python, Perl & Go as well as on agile project management, business tools and open source licensing. For the full line-up and more information visit the OSDC schedule - http://2011.osdc.com.au/schedule/. You can still purchase tickets from the OSDC website or from the payments link; https://osdc2011.wufoo.com/forms/buy-tickets/ We also have a competition running for students to win a free conference ticket. Open to students of all ages, we are asking you to come up with the best open source related topic to put to our discussion panel. The winner will see their topic discussed, examined & dissected by our selected panel of expert speakers & will also receive free entry to the Open Source Developers Conference and related events. The 2 runners up will also receive free entry to the Open Source Developers Conference and related events. The competition will be judged by the OSDC organising committee and closes at 1pm Tuesday the 8th of November. We would love to see you there.

The goal of the presentation is to get us familiar with the debugger to the extent where, instead of putting one (or more!) print or debug/trace level log statements we might feel comfortable enough to fire up the debugger and look at the problem with that perspective. The debugger, with its sometimes cryptic one word commands, can seem daunting but after seeing some of them in use hopefully we'll be inspired to try this out.
