tcpipDay Three (part II). ![[staff profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
denise and mark from Dreamwidth spoke on how they encouraged development of their service through encouraging participation and taking their user requests seriously. Had a chat with them afterwards about the adoption of DW/LJ for the research community. Then went to the second half of Richard Jone's game programming using Python and Pyglet, specifically recreating the classic arcade game Asteriods (source). Theodore Tso gave an excellent presentation the ext4 filesystem and was followed by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
claudine_c speaking on the user of various open-source software in a convict history project she's involved in. The final sessions of the day that I attended were Andrew Tridgell speaking on teaching FOSS at universities, ANU's Masters programme in particular and the ever-entertaining Paul Fenwick on the world's worst inventions.
Day Four Glyn Moody's keynote provided a general overview of the history of open source and Linux in particular. Angela Byron's 'Drupal Under The Hood' was an interesting combination of high level advocacy, a preview of Drupal7 and low-level with the creation of a "pirate translator" module.airlied gave an excellent and entertaining discussion on kernel development. After this I went to Jon Oxer's Linux-based lunar rocket project which I've volunteered to assist (I guess I want to be a rocket scientist). The afternoon consisted of two excellent, and related, low-level presentations one by Paul McKenny (Simplicity Through Optimisation, about RCU, surprise) and Peter Chubb (Interrupts Considered Harmful). That evening went to the new home of beagl and kimeros, along with caseopaya (of course), alchemon and horngirl where we downed a great deal of good champagne.
Day Five Brief introduction by Nathan Torkington and then lightning talks in lieu of a keynote on the final day. Janis Johnson spoke on developments in the GNU compiler collection, and Paul MacKerras on the perf_counter subsystem. Emma Hogbin provided another documentation related presentation, although sadly it was not sufficiently about world domination as advertised, and in more rocket-related activity Ariel Waldman provided a range of open-source space exploration technologies. The final presentation of the conference was Patrick Brennan providing an excellent case-study of a large scale and scope Linux implementation in a NZ high school.
Right, having done computing it's time to head off to KapCon and do some gaming.caseopaya is off to the Linux Conf open day (now that's a hardcore nerd) Tomorrow get to head off to Napier, perhaps the finest art deco town in the world.
