  than functions, and this session discusses these ideas as well as so th
 e edge of kid code.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Deborah Bryant (Deb Bryant & Associates), Bjorn
  Freeman-Benson (New Relic), Greg Lund-Chaix (Oregon State University Op
 en Source Lab), Clay Johnson (InformationDiet.com), Aleksandar Totic (Op
 en Source Digital Voting Foundation). Open source shares critical values
  with government and public education that make them function in the ide
 al; meritocracy of ideas, transparency, collaboration. But where is the 
 sweet spot in the confluence of these social, technical, and public poli
 cy ideals? And where is the opportunity for the citizen developer to get
  involved?

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Benjamin Mako Hill (Massachusetts Institute of

 e. From DRM to crippled OSes to digital cameras, I will show off many of
  the most egregious antifeatures and describe how open source both makes
  them impossible and helps users work around them.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Driscoll (Metamarkets). The age of Big 
 Data demands open-source tools that move beyond storage towards analytic
 s:  tools to turn terabytes into insights. R is an open-source language 
 for statistical computing and graphics, and an extensible, embeddable to
 ol for the analysis of large data sets. In this session, I showcase R's 
 power by building predictive models for Brazilian soybean harvests and b
 aseball slugger salaries.

SUMMARY:Computational Journalism
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Nick Diakopoulos (Georgia Tech), Brad Stenger (
 Ars Technica). The era of traditional journalism is giving way to someth
 ing else. We think that something else is Computational Journalism. CJ r

 nts (often using Open Source APIs) are critical.

SUMMARY:Email Hates the Living!
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ricardo Signes (Pobox.com). Email: you see it e
 very day. It's on your desktop. It's in your servers. Through the magic 
 of modern technology, it flows invisibly through the air and into your P

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Schwern (eval Empire). Geeks have a spe

 e end result is the opposite, a lie.  This leads to misunderstanding, ma
 ngled interfaces and the myth of the stupid user.

SUMMARY:What Web App Design Can Learn From the Harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Elaine  Wherry (Meebo). Baroque harpsichordists
  excelled at taking simple melodies and creating elaborate, beautiful pi
 eces of music. But in their desire to push the boundaries of experimenta
 tion, these keyboard virtuosi eventually ornamented the music beyond the
  limits of good taste, making the composer’s original melody unrecogniza
 ble. Something similar happens in web design.

 antly) our APIs. We see our site as more than just a source of news and 
 information: it’s a platform on which news and information become buildi
