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:
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.
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.
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
