From jarich at perltraining.com.au Tue Oct 17 01:33:53 2006 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (jarich at perltraining.com.au) Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:33:53 +1000 (EST) Subject: [hbpm] OSDC 2006's fabulous keynotes Message-ID: <20061017083353.6323411000E@teddybear.perltraining.com.au> Book before 31st October to save $50 and get a free conference t-shirt! Registrations are open for the Open Source Developers' Conference 2006: http://www.osdc.com.au/registration/index.html The conference is running in Melbourne from the 6th - 8th December, with a day of tutorials on the 5th. Keynote talks this year include: Damian Conway: "The Da Vinci Codebase" When a dying operating system scrawls his name across its corrupted boot volume, Dr. Damian Conway, an unassuming college professor, is plunged into a deadly race against time to solve a series of impossible riddles. What is the mysterious "Priory of Bios?" And who are their deadly nemeses "Opus Arai?" On the run from the law and stalked by a ghostly pale killer, will he unravel the subtle clues hidden in Leonardo's most famous source code and reveal to the world the incredible secret encrypted in...the Da Vinci Codebase? Randal L. Schwartz: "Free software - A look back, a look ahead" A twenty year history of the free/open software movement, from my perspective of how to contribute (in many ways!) and how to make money as well. Richard Farnsworth: "Open Source Synchrotron" What is a Synchrotron anyway? What software needs does it has? How can Open Source help solve these? The Australian Synchrotron achieved first light in July 2005 almost exclusively filling its software needs through open source. The code base has been refined to suit local conditions, and shared with the rest of the Synchrotron open source community. By sharing information, experience and software freely between scientists and engineers, great design efficiencies have been made further aiding the development of experimental beamlines. Anthony Baxter: "futurepython" import __future__ What does the future hold for the Python language? In this talk, we'll look at Microsoft's (Open Sourced!) IronPython and show some of the massive fun coming down the track for scripting languages thanks to .Net and Mono. We'll also cover Python 3.0 (now under development) and the PyPy (Python, in Python) project. Be a part of this fantastic conference and help it be the best developers' conference this year! If your business would like to benefit from exposure to many of Australia's best open source developers then perhaps you should consider sponsorship. We have a wide range of sponsorship options, to find out more information please visit: http://www.osdc.com.au/sponsors/index.html We look forward to sharing this great conference with you! Don't forget to register before 31st October to get a free conference t-shirt. http://www.osdc.com.au/registration/index.html Jacinta Richardson OSDC Publicity Officer From dan.horne at redbone.co.nz Thu Oct 26 19:40:39 2006 From: dan.horne at redbone.co.nz (Dan Horne) Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 15:40:39 +1300 (NZDT) Subject: [hbpm] Helllooooo.
