SUMMARY:Skimmable Code:  Fast to Read, Safe to Change
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Schwern (Lack Of Organization). Much of
  the practical reason for "best coding practices" is not to make code "p
 retty" but to allow code to be skimmed.  We rarely read and understand a
 n entire project, instead we read just enough to get something done.  It
  allows one to work very efficiently on unfamiliar code. You will learn 
 the art of skimming and the role of best practices in writing skimmable 
 code.

SUMMARY:Legal Rules for the New Open Source Project
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Van Lindberg (Haynes and Boone). New open sourc

SUMMARY:Print Your Own Hardware
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Vik Olliver (The RepRap Project). The RepRap Pr

  evolve into an even more useful device, but needs to acquire a vital co
 mponent -- you.

SUMMARY:Language Inflection Point
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tim Bray (Sun Microsystems, Inc.). It would be 
 nice to know which programming languages we're all going to be programmi

 bout this for fifteen minutes, highlight some trends and influences, and
  probably leave you with more questions than answers.

SUMMARY:Greening the Conference Circuit
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Zak Greant (Foo Associates). Hackers and makers
 , inventors and innovators, evangelists and activists, CXOs and entrepre
 neurs: each year thousands of us make our rounds on the FOSS conference

 nto a banality of over-packaged shwag, glossy brochures, disposable cups
 , and hotel stays. We're a principled, smart and innovative lot—we can d
 o so much better.

SUMMARY:The Twilight Perl
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Damian Conway (Thoughtstream). You unlock this 
 door with the key of a hash. Beyond it is another dimension—a dimension 
 of strange constructs, a dimension of improbable behavior. You're moving
  into a land of both weird syntax and unlikely semantics, of unintended 
 features and unexpected beauty. You've just crossed over into...The Twil
 ight Perl.
