DESCRIPTION:Presented by Danny O'Brien (Electronic Frontier Foundation).
  Why do we trust our most personal diary entries with only our closest f
 riends -- and distant machines of a faceless social networking service? 
 Why do you hand over to Amazon files and passwords that you wouldn't tel
 l your own mother? EFF's Danny O'Brien explains why innovation still com
 es from the edge of our networks -- and how the next generation of free 
 software will help.

 ll
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Danese Cooper (Wikimedia Foundation and Open So
 urce Initiative), David Smith (REvolution Computing). Risk and chance pl

 his talk is to provide some illumination in the basic principles to help
  you understand and quantify risk, and to introduce you to the open-sour
 ce language R, an essential tool for finding statistical solutions to yo
 ur own problems.

SUMMARY:Open Source Analytics: Visualization and Predictive Modeling of 
 Big Data with the R Programming Language
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.
