SUMMARY:How to be Normal: A Guide for Developers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mike  Hillyer (Message Systems). At some point 
 in every software project involving a database it becomes necessary for 
 the developers who created (or inherited) the project to step back and t

 has evolved over time, with columns added here and tables added there, i
 ncreasing complexity and often adding redundancy.

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.

 y  Hogan (Hyperic, Inc.).  Over the past ten years nothing has impacted 
 business more than community.  Whether through the openness of software 
 development spurred by Linux or the dismantling of media empires through
  blogging, the rise of communities has been the driving force in how we 
 work and live today. For open source developers, what has to happen to m
 aintain and grow the communities they've built?

SUMMARY:Does Open Source Need to Be "Organic"?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Brian Aker (MySQL), Rob Lanphier (Linden Lab), 
 Stephen O'Grady (Redmonk), Theodore Ts'o (Linux Foundation). Are softwar
 e projects dominated by a single company still open source, or is an OSI
 -approved license good enough?  Does a project need to be "organic" to b
 e truly open source?  What does "organic" even mean in this context?  Pa
 nelists with a range of viewpoints will discuss these topics.
